The Absolutely Fabulous Theatre Connection


The Absolutely Fabulous Theatre Connection (AFTEC), is a charity dedicated to nurturing the next generation of youth through its award winning signature bilingual Learning Theatre™ approach.


Vision & Mission


The arts are far more powerful and potent than meets the eye. Our vision is to inspire young people and everyone to engage their minds, passion & spirits in living a full, creative and multi-perspective life. The approach is through quality arts-in-education experiences and meaningful encounters with diverse collaborative partners.

Learning Theatre™ Approach & Methodology

The AFTEC Tangram Approach (ATA) is founded on the 7 facets of the Chinese tangram puzzle. As core teaching & learning tools, we offer a framework for young people and everyone to play with themes & variations to discover their own creativity and interpretations. ATA aims to encourage, expand and enrich understanding & meaning in and through the arts.
