Statement from the IUTA Executive Committee regarding the Russian Invasion of Ukraine

We collectively condemn the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the ongoing unprovoked aggression against the Ukrainian people.

We send a message of support and solidarity to our friends and colleagues working in theatre and universities in the Ukraine, Russia, Belarus and elsewhere who have been impacted by these events, or who are suffering due to their speaking out against these events.

We pledge to work pro-actively with Ukrainian theatre groups and those undertaking university theatre activities by reaching out to them and seeking communication and collaboration in the spirit of advocacy and encouragement.
