Our Longhouse 2020

Have your say

Since the Longhouse program was established by Contemporary Asian Australian Performance (CAAP) in 2015, it’s become a space of togetherness, sharing, and connection for Asian Australian people in the performing arts in Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth. Since then, we’ve seen the spark of new projects, collaborations, new conversations, and friendships.

The Longhouse is now moving online. This means we can keep the spark alive from our own homes - wherever you are around the country. So we thought we’d ask you: what kind of Longhouse program would you like to see?

Be part of the conversation about what the Longhouse will look like in 2020, and how we can continue building our Asian Australian performance community from here. This survey only takes 5 minutes to complete! It's a great opportunity to create a Longhouse program that speaks to you, to step out of your iso-bubble and to stay connected with Asian Australian artists and arts workers from around the country.

Get your responses in by 21 April and you’ll play a big part in shaping CAAP’s first ever national Longhouse. (Stay tuned for details!). Any questions or concerns, shoot an email through to longhouse@caap.org.au.

Excited to hear your responses! Remember you’re not alone; let’s stay connected and keep supporting each other.
