Phare The Cambodian Circus
More than just a circus, Phare performers use theater, music, dance and modern circus arts to tell uniquely Cambodian stories; historical, folk and modern. The young circus artists will astonish you with their energy, emotion, enthusiasm and talent. Phare artists are students and graduates from Phare Ponleu Selpak’s vocational training center in Battambang. The association was formed in 1994 by 9 young men coming home from a refugee camp after the Khmer Rouge regime. They were greatly helped during that time by an art teacher using drawing classes as therapy and wanted to share this new skill among the poor, socially deprived and troubled youngsters in Battambang. They founded an art school and public school followed to offer free education. A music school and theatre school were next and finally, for the kids who wanted more, the circus school. Today more than 1,200 pupils attend the public school daily and 500 attend the alternative schools. Phare Ponleu Selpak also has extensive outreach programs, trying to help with the problems highlighted in their own tales. Phare The Cambodian Circus offers these students and graduates somewhere to hone their skills and a place to earn a decent wage. Money that will take them out of poverty and give them self-respect and freedom.

Amrita Performing Arts
Amrita Performing Arts is an International NGO based in Phnom Penh, with US nonprofit status. Amrita is committed to creating Cambodian contemporary dance and theater, responding to the creative drive of a young generation of artists passionately dedicated to ushering their country's ancient performing arts heritage into the future. Amrita was founded in 2003 with a mission to help revive and preserve the wide spectrum of Cambodia's traditional performing arts through a program that emphasized national capacity building in all aspects of production management. This mission has evolved to focus more on contemporary creativity in theater and dance. Amrita Performing Arts produces fully staged productions of contemporary Cambodian dance and theater featuring professional Cambodian performers. These are developed in collaboration with internationally renowned directors and choreographers through a process of intensive workshop and dialogue. In its current phase of development, Amrita Performing Arts has become a major catalyst in helping the young generation of artists find their voice and move their creative drives forward in a proactive, nurturing and culturally sensitive environment. Amrita is now well established in Cambodia as a pioneer in Cambodian contemporary dance. We respond to the creative drives and desires of our performers who in turn are responding to a vastly different Cambodia. Our hope, through these collaborations, has been to translate the experience of current social conditions into the dance parameters of time, space and physical energy; exploring the themes of emergence from isolation towards integration within the complexities of the contemporary world and in the context of a transformed country. Our work continues to examine the relationship between tradition and the contemporary, set against the backdrop of the past and the current social milieu.
