Welcome to this year’s ASSITEJ magazine It is such a pleasure to invite you to dive into these pages designed by our Nordic family, with reflections from across the globe. The topic of this year’s magazine is confronting the present, and the work and ideas reflected is as diverse as the myriad members our organization represents. The power of theatre to hold up a mirror to nature, to reflect, engage and wrestle with the complex challenges of contemporary life is explored here in a range of short essays and articles that take diverse approaches to their subject. There is something of interest for everyone. The idea that children and young people should be confronted with the realities of their world in theatre is for some controversial, and we engage with this notion in different ways. We also look at the ways the realities of the present affect the process and methods of making work for young audiences. Once again the magazine reflects a host of languages from its contributors. This seems highly appropriate since the UN has designated 2019 as the year of Indigenous Languages; in this year, let us ensure that children and young people are able to access work in their mother tongues, while also providing children with ways of navigating across and beyond languages using the various languages of the performing arts. Many thanks to the Publications and Promotions Working Group and to the Design team, for all their hard work in the creation of this magazine. Many thanks too to all the contributors: your ideas, your work, your explorations inspire us, challenge us and help us all to think through the complexities of making theatre for young audiences today. After the SAND festival and ASSITEJ Artistic Gathering are just a glorious memory, we trust that this magazine will provide you with something concrete to take away that will remind you of the interesting conversations, passionate arguments and thought-provoking experiences you have enjoyed with us in this opportunity to Confront the Present!
