CCP opens local tour grants for regional performing groups

MANILA, Philippines - The Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) through its Cultural Exchange Department (CED) will give out Local Tour Grants of P60,000 each to six qualified cultural performing groups from the regions to enable them to implement a short tour of their productions within or outside their community.

The provision of tour grants for local productions by deserving regional cultural performing groups would further fortify the center’s regional cultural work since three and a half decades.

The grantees are expected to render two performances in two sites with an interaction session after each performance. The chosen groups must implement their local tours anytime between July-August 2015. 

The tour grant is open for regional (either from Luzon, Visayas or Mindanao with the exception of the National Capital Region) cultural performing groups who have been actively presenting, producing & promoting their local art forms in the last 8 years. The group or organization should have a very good track record and is recognized by their peers and community.

The group’s production or creative work must be original with a high level of artistry,  utilizes a local artistic form/s and presents either the history, traditions and culture of their community or region and must run for a minimum of one-hour.The production must have been previously mounted for public performances.
