This workshop is part of an ongoing Chakto project supported by Institut français du Cambodge to galvanize the cultural and creative industries in Cambodia. With a specific focus on writing, it aims at benefiting emerging Cambodian talents in four specific cultural sectors (cinema, books, dance and music), in partnership with Anti-Archive, Sipar, Cambodian Living Arts and Kongchak Pictures.
The objective of Workshop 1: Masterclass for Senior Choreographers is to strengthen the choreography writing capacity of senior choreographers by building on their foundational knowledge and providing practical experience. Participants will also serve as associate or assistant mentors for Phase 2, working alongside another lead mentor. Selected participants will receive a stipend in recognition of their time commitment.
We will offer up to Five Places for senior choreographers who will engage in an intensive masterclass led by Mr. Fouad Boussouf, director of Le Phare CCN Du Havre, and a renowned French contemporary dance mentor. The program focuses on refining participants’ choreography writing skills and enhancing their ability to conceptualize and articulate innovative dance works.

The masterclass will span a total of 36 hours, with sessions conducted for six hours daily.
- Morning Session: 9:00 AM–12:00 PM

In addition to in-class activities, participants are expected to read materials or watch assigned videos as preparation both before and during the program. The masterclass will be conducted in English, with Khmer translation provided.
