The Gateshead International Festival of Theatre (GIFT) has been running since 2011. It is an annual opportunity for audiences and artists to gather and share experimental work with a strong focus on collaboration and conversation. As noted in my interview with the Festival’s Director, Kate Craddock (which is also published in this special issue of CTR), it went online for 2020 and 2021. 2022 marked its return to in-person activity. I attended almost all of the events in the programme, which stretched across three days from Friday 30 April to Sunday 2 May 2022.

2022 年 GIFT（盖茨黑德国际戏剧节）

盖茨黑德国际戏剧节 (GIFT) 自 2011 年开始举办。每年一度，观众和艺术家都有机会聚集和分享实验作品，重点放在合作和对话上。正如我在采访电影节总监凯特·克拉多克时所指出的（也发表在本期CTR特刊中），它在 2020 年和 2021 年上线。2022 年标志着它重返现场活动。我几乎参加了该计划中的所有活动，从 2022 年 4 月 30 日星期五到 2022 年 5 月 2 日星期日，为期三天。
