AmnAsia.7 presents works-in-progress by performing artists with Asian background, created during APAL@AmnAsia, a residency program of Asian Performing Artists Lab (APAL). An artist talk takes place at the end of every presentation.

The 6-day intensive residency offers the artists the opportunity to work in an environment surrounded by other performing artists with Asian background and where they can share experiences, resources and knowledge with each other. It is also a space where they can support, as well as stimulate each other’s artistic processes and works.

At APAL@AmnAsia performance-making is not only about how we make works, but also about how we co-exist and thrive together. It is explicitly not production-oriented, but focuses on artistic processes and experimentations with ideas, approaches, ways of working, or whatever challenges or fascinates the artists. They have the autonomy to work with themes that concern them, as well as determine their own aesthetics and voices in their works. AmnAsia is therefore an attempt to resist the erasure that Asian artists face in a predominantly white society.
