New Tiny Toones music video

April 2nd, 2013 | By admin

Tiny Toones and 391 Films have together produced a music video for the all-new Tiny Toones song “Anakut” featuring the new generation of Tiny Toones performers. 

The video was premiered at an incredible Tiny Toones album launch party last month in Phnom Penh. A ton of people came down to Equinox to see Tiny Toones’ DJ, rappers, and dancers perform all new tracks and routines.

Our thanks go to the Prince Claus Fund and Sabay for making the filming possible. The kids had a great time making it and we’re all really proud of their work.

A Fresh Start: new Tiny Toones film

January 15th, 2013 | By admin

We’re starting 2013 with the release of ‘A Fresh Start,’ a short film telling the story of Sovann Dyrithy – better known as Fresh – and how Tiny Toones changed his life.

Fresh was one of the first to learn to dance in founder KK’s front room. Now he is inspiring and teaching the next generation while working towards his degree. It’s a fantastic story and a fantastic film.

Please watch, enjoy and share ‘A Fresh Start’ using youtube or the video section of this website. Our gratitude goes to film-maker Fergus Dingle (www.fergusdingle.com) for capturing the essence of Tiny Toones and what makes it such a special and important place.

Happy New Year everyone!

Tiny Toones Christmas party

December 27th, 2012 | By admin

Tiny Toones just hosted our first Christmas party at the Chba Ampov center. At first the center had no electricity (a common problem for those living in the area) which called for some improvised games. Happily the power returned just in time and we were able to fit in all the original Tiny Toones music we had hoped for, along with break-dancing performances and battles.

Finally there was food, drink and a whole load of presents thanks to generous support from Randy Sary and Sabay. For most of our kids these were the first Christmas presents they had ever received. You can see photos of the day elsewhere on this site and on youtube you’ll find video footage of the break-dancing battle and the dance performance. .

We’re also still raising money to provide the kids with education next year so please consider giving a really special end of year gift. If you’re in the UK you can make your gift go even further by using Tiny Toones UK Giving site, enabling us to claim Gift Aid on every donation made.

Chenla Theater performance (and video)

November 15th, 2012 | By dave

In October Tiny Toones performed ‘Carnet de Voyage’ (“Travel Book”) at Chenla Theater alongside French dance company Racine Carrees and under the guidance of choreographer Nabil Oeulhadj.

You can see footage of the final two scenes in Tiny Toones’ videos section. The penultimate scene revolves around the onstage tuk-tuk and features some incredible somersaults and flips while the final scene, set to “Comptine d’un autre été: l’après midi” (from the Amelie soundtrack composed by Yann Tiersen), is a surprisingly beautiful finale (and features some serious head-spinning).

Images from the show can also be viewed in Tiny Toones’ photos.

This show was arranged and hosted by the Institut Francais, who have our gratitude for the fantastic opportunity to work with such talented artists.
