OzAsia Festival and Contemporary Asian Australian Performance (CAAP) are pleased to announce the 12 South Australian artists who will participate in a five-day Artist Lab from November 1-5.
CAAPArtist Lab x South Australia will provide a fertile environment for experimentation, peer-to-peer learning and collaboration in a program that aims to expand and deepen the practices of SA-based Asian Australian artists working with performance.
CAAP champions Asian Australian artists and stories to take their place on main stages nationally and internationally and is partnering with leading South Australian companies ActNow Theatre, Brink Productions, Nexus Arts, State Theatre Company South Australia, Vitalstatistix and the Assemblage Centre for Creative Arts at Flinders University to deliver the Artist Lab as part of this year’s OzAsia Festival.
The 2021 CAAP Artist Lab participants are Matcho Cassidy, Samuel Lau, Nicky Tsz Tung Li, Danielle Lim, Satomi Ohnishi, Roy Phung, Rubina, Penelope Shum, Noriko Tadano, Jennifer Trijo, Ben-Hur Winter and Mingyu ‘Stevie-B’ Zhao.
The five-day CAAP Artist Lab x South Australia will be facilitated by Valerie Berry and co-ordinated by Zhao Liang.
The artists were selected by the partner organisations from an open callout for expressions of interest from South Australia-based Asian Australian artists.
CAAP Artist Lab x South Australia is supported by the South Australian Government through Arts SA.
