Short Description
We’re thrilled to open our very first international call for applications, and we’re inviting performing artists from across the Asia-Pacific region to join us in Phnom Penh, Cambodia for a one-month residency rooted in process over product, questions over conclusions, and dialogue over isolation.
The Performance Lab was born from a desire to hold space for artists to go deeper, to step away from production timelines and toward something slower, more intentional, and more personal.
Eligibility
— You’re a performing artist (theater, dance, music, performance art, or anything in between)
— You hold nationality from an Asia-Pacific country
— You have a question or direction you’re ready to explore
— You value process, experimentation, and open-ended inquiry
— You’re 18+ and comfortable working in English
