Tim’s written a column for the Guardian about his experience at FCP. Great distillation of the intensity of this period, and the insights we gained there:
“What I sensed in the younger artists and dancers we worked with, though, was a desire to move forwards with the past, and not to retreat into it. These Cambodian twentysomethings are savvy and hungry… They know that they’ll need new approaches in the arts, and new political voices to meet the challenges ahead.”
There’s also some praise for FCP itself:
“Highly organised and efficient on one hand, Flying Circus also courts a creative openness that at times borders on chaos. The logic for Keng Sen is that the encounter must have its own energy, that the group itself must conjure something new from the situation. An approach like this takes time and nerve, but it undoubtedly pays off.”
