Abstract

ABSTRACT: This is the ninth (and possibly last) instalment of RiDE 's occasional series of short informational pieces on archives in the field of drama and theatre education and applied theatre and performance. Each instalment has included summaries of one or more collections of significant material in the field. The intention has been to provide a cumulative directory of archival resources, updated as and when necessary, and one that acts as an ongoing resource for researchers, teachers, students and practitioners. We have included not only the established, fully catalogued and well-known collections, but also the lesser known, possibly quite small and 'emergent' collections and significant collections contained within larger archives. This instalment contains reports from two countries, South Africa and Singapore, that both have – in very different ways – thriving drama education/applied theatre scenes, but ones in which archives have only recently begun to emerge as a vital means of capturing that legacy. It also contains a cumulative summary of all the archives that have been mapped to date, cross-referenced to the RiDE issues in which their details appeared.
