Epic Arts is a charity in Cambodia that opens up opportunities for performance and self-expression to people with disabilities. Two professional dancers from the organisation will head to Singapore this month to perform at True Colours Festival, which celebrates artistic talent from people who are differently abled.
Kim Socheat, who uses a wheelchair, and Ork Savy, who is deaf, explain how they use their art to shock audiences and change perceptions of people with disabilities.
What do you enjoy about performing?
Ork Savy: I really enjoy going out to places like Singapore and different countries because I get to show people that my team and I have skill. The audience sees the performance and they’re always surprised… They can really believe that every person is equal, and every person counts. I want the audience to understand disabilities in Cambodia...
