ABOUT THE PROJECT

Connect with SEA (Gender Issue) : Residency in the CLOUD is a project that organized by Thinkers’ Studio (Taiwan) and collaborated with Dance Nucleus (Singapore), it aims to start the conversation of gender issues in the society, by gathering a group of artists to develop or adapt ideas and explore new ways to work, create and collaborate internationally. It hopes to connect the creative resources by online residency, performances and talks and also to find the similarity of gender issue artists from three different countries working closely in Southeast Asia. 

​

The pandemic has brought limited travel and global movements, and “online” has become the new model for international exchange and connection. In this project, through being online, the whole residency process and experience can be more accessible to the public, opening the possibility to share, connect and communicate between artists, professionals, organizations and people in different parts of the world. It also seeks to initiate new ways of international working under the pandemic.

Our aims:

1.  Taiwan serves as a connecting hub, to organize and discuss social/gender issues

2. Reduce travel risks during the pandemic and make the best of online features

3. Take gender issues as the core of the creative companionship

Throughout this project , we hope to:

• Analyze creative context of emerging artists (梳理脈絡)

• Start Communication (溝通)

• Make Generation Connection (世代連結）

• Create Collaboration Possibilities (合作可能) and Networking
