Sharing experiences on looking for sponsors, partnerships and supports
By Ngo Thanh Phuong (Saigon)
Budget for a production/project is always a big problem for independent choreographers. The question is how could we find the way to get strong for the long-term production/project?
Ngo Thanh Phuong is an independent choreographer, based in VietNam. At the moment, she's working on her own research "Through the door then" by creating the dialog between 2 young dancers and 2 ex-prisoners and at the same time, she focuses on building the contemporary dance community "Morua Arts Project" in Hoi An, Vietnam.

Young Body
By Charmaine Poh
YOUNG BODY responds to discourse surrounding the patriarchal gaze and the female-presenting body. The lecture-perfomance uses found footage of my preteen body as a tween TV actor, speculative fiction and AI-learning to proffer restitution and freedom-making.
Charmaine Poh works with image-making and performance. Central to her practice is considering the performativity of the everyday, the body, digital selves and repair.
Charmaine is currently part of the joint residency by Dance Nucleus and Thinkers’ Studio (Taiwan), ARTEFACT x CLOUD Residency.
