A LA MAIN:
As the first project of the 2024 International Youth Arts Education Workshop, youth from Korea and France came together through a joint performance, overcoming language and cultural barriers with the goal of “joining hands and growing together.”
Project; HAND – A LA MAIN featured the participation of members from “Dance of Dream,” Korea’s leading children and youth arts education program.
Young dancers who share a passion for dance gathered in Paris during the 2024 Summer Olympics, sharing their cultures through movement and presenting a vibrant performance on the “Korea Day” stage at Korea House during the Paris 2024 Olympics.
Since many social and environmental issues are surging around us, the role of the teaching artist is becoming more essential than ever in Asia and around the world. There are many common issues and emerging topics we need to discuss as an artist, known by different titles such as teaching artist, activist, social artist, and participatory artist.
KACES offers Asia Teaching Artist (TA) Exchange Workshop and Joint Projects on Socially Engaged Arts Education, designed for literature study and research on relevant and resonant topics for the Asian region, and putting the outcomes into action through group projects following the workshop.
It aims to promote a sustainable network of arts education practitioners in Asia for vibrant and continuous exchanges, and to revisit the definition and role of teaching artists in the region.
