Birdie 24-Hour Challenge was first hosted in October 2025 in collabration with Shanghai YOUNG Theatre's Access Department, to raise public engagement and make contemporary theatre more accessible. To our surprise, the open call was received by feverish interests from the local community, with participants coming from all walks of life, including high school and university students, elderlies, amateur clubs, working professionals, families of children with special needs, documentary filmmakers, and so on. The initiative is now developing into a carefully curated full-package event that can be easily reproduced and adapted to different contexts.
