Conversasians 2012: Exploring Creative Journeys (Esplanade, Singapore)
Date: 31 May - 2 June 2012

ConversAsians is a biennial event that celebrates and explores the creative journeys of artists in the Asian performing arts scene. From established masters to the rising stars of the younger generation, featured are creators from across disciplines who have proven exceptional and inspirational through innovation and distinction.

Departing from the regular arts mart, the focus has shifted to appreciating and engaging them in more meaningful ways. A fully immersive event into the diverse arts and cultures of Asia Pacific, ConversAsians aims to foster a platform of trust and exchange between artists and delegates, to encourage more artistic expressions and create more opportunities across borders.

Through a series of talks, workshops, and presentations of works-in-progress, performance excerpts and full-length productions, delegates stand to understand their creative process as they share their stories and personal perspectives on art and life.

Targeted at producers, presenters, artistic directors, curators, artists, arts students, or anyone in the related field with a keen interest in the development of the Asian arts scene, interact with artists and participate in stimulating dialogue sessions, discussions and interviews facilitated by other arts professionals.

In 2012, ConversAsians celebrates Trust.

All artistic creation is founded on trust. ConversAsians seeks to spark new cycles of creation by bringing together arts producers, presenters and artists in a gathering where experiences of artistic journeys can be shared, deeper insights into the creative process gained and closer ties forged for more fruitful collaborations and creation.

In its second edition, ConversAsians 2012 returns with 12 prominent Asian artists from various disciplines all of whom have forged unique styles that are unmistakably their own, yet reflect the individual cultures they come from. You can expect illuminating insights and stimulating dialogues from a 3 day programme of talks and discussions hosted by thought leaders, workshops and stagings of works-in-progress, performance excerpts and full-length showcases.

Targeted at producers, presenters, artistic directors, curators, artists, arts students or anyone in the related field with a keen interest in the development of the Asian arts scene.
