Cambodia | Performance Lab Residency 2025 for artists in the Asia-Pacific region

Creative Generation is now inviting performing artists from across the Asia-Pacific region to apply for a one-month residency in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, between July and September 2025.

Creative Generation recognises that artistic practice thrives in an environment that fosters deep exploration, risk-taking, and dialogue. Building on the momentum of the Performance Series (2022-2023), they are now introducing the Performance Lab, a new initiative dedicated to research and experimentation.

The Performance Lab was born from a desire to hold space for artists to go deeper — to step away from production timelines and toward something slower, more intentional, and more personal.

Eligibility: 

  • Have a nationality from one of the Asia-Pacific countries (including East Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Oceania) 
  • Be 18yrs or older
  • Work in performing arts (ex: music, theatre, dance, performance art)
  • Have a working knowledge of English
  • Have a topic of research

The programme involves:

  • A one-month residency in July, August, or September 2025
  • 800 USD artist grant
  • Accommodation at an artist home in Phnom Penh
  • Unlimited access to a black box theatre + shared studio space
  • Support and dialogue with the team
  • A public sharing moment designed by each artist
