In this article, I propose a critical approach to “regionalist” education in Southeast Asia by engaging with issues of culture in teaching and learning contemporary theatre. Education that engages with this complexity must- negotiate the borderlines of culture that contribute to how Southeast Asian nations apprehend themselves, and in relation to each other. Apart from indigenous cultures that have survived the tides of change, there are several deeply embedded cultural influences from near and far that constitute what is local. Southeast Asia’s location as a crossroads between East and South Asia, marks it as a region deeply entrenched in difference, with a history of complex identities.
