PAT is proud to be the recipient of three grants as a result of Creative New Zealand’s Arts Continuity Grant and general Art’s Grants - the former offered to support a short-term arts project, or the stage of a project, that can be delivered within a changed and evolving environment as a result of COVID-19.

Our funded projects are:

  • Breathing Space - an initiative created and hosted by Marianne Infante, who interviews Asian practitioners to touch base with our identity shift as performers during the Covid-19 lockdown in March 2020

  • PAT’s all new website - with better hosting abilities for our online initiatives, as a result of Covid-19

  • Fresh Developments - our mid-level workshops for practitioners for second-phase developments, shifted to personal research essays, journals and in depth analysis of the world of their individual plays after Covid-19 restrictions.

We are grateful to continue developing Asian artists and keeping our whanau in work as we move through these challenging times. Stay tuned to see the results of our mahi!
