More about BIPAM, please make sure to visit: https://www.bipam.org/.
Mobility Grant program is mainly created to support art and cultural practitioners from all disciplines (Film, performing arts, visual arts, writing communities. to develop ideas, networking, and skill through participation in the training course, workshop, conference, festival, research presentation, art, and culture residency.
In collaboration with BIPAM, our program is designed to specifically support the performing artists, particularly those whose practices are dance and theatre The program provides access to new experiences and opportunities for exposure, helping them deepen their understanding of regional practices and opportunities. By learning about diverse cultural approaches, artistic methods, and production styles from the region, artists can broaden their perspectives and gain valuable insights that inspire innovation in their work. It ultimately contributes to the dynamic ecosystem of the performing arts in Cambodia.
We want to support those who haven’t accessed this opportunity before. The long objective of the “Mobility Grant” is for Cambodian art development, especially, focusing on experience exchange, and capacity building for artists and cultural researchers.
There will be two key aspects during the 3 full-day program:
- Experiencing and learning through the BIPAM Two full days will be dedicated to our grantees for full engagement and learning during the Bangkok International Performing Arts Meeting. Activities will include watching performances, attending the exclusive artist talk sessions and discussion, and interacting with artists and organizers.
- Exposure to the Bangkok Local Art Scene: This will include visits to artists’ studios at Bangkok Art and Culture Center (BACC), Chang Theatre and some performing artists groups who share similar context.
The 3 full-day program will be co-organized and co-facilitated by Cambodian Living Arts and Ms. Ladda Kongdach, artist and producer, who will act as our local supporter and coordinator. For more information about Ms. Ladda, please refer to a website link attached here.
