The '''Saratoga International Theater Institute''' (also known as '''SITI''') is an [[ensemble cast|ensemble]]-based [[theater company]] whose three ongoing components are the creation of new work, the training of young theater artists, and a commitment to international collaboration. |

The '''Saratoga International Theater Institute''' (also known as '''SITI''') was an [[ensemble cast|ensemble]]-based [[theater company]] based in [[New York City]] and [[Saratoga Springs, New York]]. SITI was founded in 1992 by American director [[Anne Bogart]] and Japanese director [[Tadashi Suzuki]] on the campus of Skidmore College to redefine and revitalize contemporary [[theater]] in the United States. |

The institute's inaugural productions began in September 1992 with two [[Euripides]] plays: ''Dionysus'' and ''Orestes''. Funding initially came from the Japan-United States Friendship Commission, Arts International and All Nippon Airlines, according to then-executive producing director Stephen Nisbet.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Rice |first1=Bill |title=Opening plays set for SITI |work=The Daily Gazette |date=June 19, 1992}}</ref> |

SITI is noted for combining the [[Viewpoints]] of [[Anne Bogart]] with the Suzuki Method of Actor Training of [[Tadashi Suzuki]]. Both techniques are alternatives to the Stanislavski-based Method training which dominates the American stage and screen. Actors in the company regularly train together and use the training as part of their rehearsal and warm-up process. In addition to the year-round program in [[New York City]] and the summer institute in Saratoga, SITI teaches both the [[Viewpoints]] and the Suzuki Method in residencies and masterclasses at colleges and universities across the United States. |

The Saratoga International Theater Institute (also known as SITI) was an ensemble-based theater company based in New York City and Saratoga Springs, New York. SITI was founded in 1992 by American director Anne Bogart and Japanese director Tadashi Suzuki on the campus of Skidmore College to redefine and revitalize contemporary theater in the United States.
The institute's inaugural productions began in September 1992 with two Euripides plays: Dionysus and Orestes. Funding initially came from the Japan-United States Friendship Commission, Arts International and All Nippon Airlines, according to then-executive producing director Stephen Nisbet.[1]
Originally envisioned as a summer institute in Saratoga Springs, New York, SITI has expanded to encompass a year-round program based in New York City, with a summer season in Saratoga.[2] The company believed that contemporary American theater must incorporate artists from around the world and learn from a cross-cultural exchange of dance, music, art, and performance experiences.
SITI is noted for combining the Viewpoints process of Anne Bogart with the Suzuki Method of Actor Training of Tadashi Suzuki. Both techniques are alternatives to the Stanislavski-based Method training which has dominated American stage and screen for generations.[citation needed] Over their history, the company produced more than forty shows.[3]
In October 2020, SITI announced they would stop producing shows in 2022, although classes would continue.[2] Its final performances were of A Christmas Carol at Bard College.[3]
