ASSITEJ (International Association of Theatre for Children and Young People) Korea founded and has hosted Seoul Children’s Theatre Awards since 1992, in order to create a solid ground for developing children’s theatre. From 1993, ASSITEJ Korea has organized Seoul Children’s Theatre Festival along the Awards. The Festival consists of four best productions chosen by the jury of the Awards, and from 1995, the Festival invites and introduces outstanding foreign theatre companies to Seoul. In 2001, the Festival changed its name into Seoul Performing Arts Festival for Young Audiences. With the new title, it includes other genres of performing arts for children such as music and dance as parts as well as theatre. More than 120,000 people have attended past ASSITEJ festivals.
