ABOUT US
Amrita Performing Arts is entering a new phase of development that has already contributed significantly to transforming Cambodia’s performing arts scene as part of a community driven process which has proven this country‘s propensity for cultural regeneration.
Cambodia’s performing arts heritage remains fragile as the traditional forms continue to be resurrected from near extinction. However the young generation of performers is developing in very different ways as they become exposed to contemporary trends in a wide variety of cultures and confront their natural desire to innovate. The result in the performing arts is a growing community of young men and women who are excited and inspired by modern forms of dance and theater and want to incorporate new ideas into their creative palette.
A new approach to developing cultural diversity is now taking shape across contemporary Asia and Cambodia stands at the epicenter of this cultural insurgency. By drawing upon their common cultural bonds and dance traditions, artists from Cambodia and their regional counterparts are finally in a position where they can collaborate in reconnecting their artistic heritage to today’s audiences. These efforts have led to the creation of a new generation of cutting edge work, deeply rooted in the traditions of their classical training from both sides of the divide.
