Learn about the latest trends in performing arts and create a communication line among the cutting-edge artists and producers at the first Manila International Performing Arts Market (MPAM) x CREATE PH, slated on September 19 to 21, at CCP.
A global platform for performances, business-to-business exchange and networking opportunities, the MIPAM x CREATE PH aims to facilitate connections among artists, cultural operators, promoters, producers and impresarios from international performing arts markets and festival and establish possible future partnerships.
In collaboration with the DTI-CITEM, the MIPAM x CREATE PH is a good venue to introduce talented artists, not just from the Philippines but from across the region and promote them in the performing arts community in the Philippines and the Asia Pacific.
