Gyeonggi Arts Center visited the Asia-Pacific Performing Arts Market (APAM), held in Perth, Australia from February 22 to 25 (local time), where it engaged with key performing arts stakeholders from the Asia-Pacific region and explored possibilities for international cooperation.
APAM is the leading performing arts market representing the Asia-Pacific region, bringing together venue officials, programmers, and arts market organizers from around the world to share the latest trends and distribution environment in the performing arts sector.
During the event, a series of performance showcases, pitching sessions, and networking programs unfolded across the city of Perth, turning the entire city into a hub for performing arts exchange.
Gyeonggi Arts Center participated in the official APAM program, attended performance showcases, pitching sessions, and networking meetings, and directly observed trends in the overseas performing arts market on site.
In the process, the center met with Virginia Hyam, Executive Director of APAM, Louise Coles, Head of International Cooperation, as well as representatives from Yokohama International Performing Arts Meeting (YPAM) in Japan, ARC Circus in Australia, Creative Australia, and performing arts stakeholders from Hong Kong, exchanging views on local production environments, touring structures, and venue management systems in each region.
