ITI partnered with Jose Rizal Memorial State University (JRMSU) and inITIate PH, a collective of ITI alumni and students from the Philippines, to co-present the second edition of the Mindanao InterCultural Exchanges (MICE). The three-day programme, held from 26 to 28 June at the JRMSU campus in Dipolog, brought together emerging artists and students from all over the Philippines for contemporary theatre workshops, intercultural dialogue, and professional development.
