In this meeting, the Core Group focused their discussion on three main topics: the needs of artists in Asia, the de-colonisation of language with regards to marketing and validating artists' work, and the responsibility to contextualise artists' work for both funding bodies and audiences. In future meetings, these discussions will be grounded in case studies of artists and their works offered by members of the Core Group. The Core Group also further developed projects proposed to take place in their first term: an Asian Contemporary Dance Camp in South Korea, (CP)3: Certificate Programme for Critical Practices in Contemporary Performances in Singapore, and Dance Sweat Festival in Hong Kong. Further discussions were had on the programme structure of future meetings.
