Prumsodun Ok pioneers strategy and program design for art, education, and philanthropy. Synthesizing the rigor of traditional master-apprentice training with ideas and approaches from youth development and community health, Ok founded Cambodia’s first gay dance company, which grew into “one of the most revolutionary dance troupes in Cambodia” (Channel NewsAsia). Embodying justness in movement, his students and groundbreaking original works have been celebrated as "Radical Beauty" (The Bangkok Post).

Ok is a cross-disciplinary thinker, innovative creator, and master meaning-maker who has inspired narrative and culture change through talks at TED and Dance/USA, in academic publications throughout Asia, Europe, and the United States, and on major media outlets such as BBC, PBS, AFP, Asahi Shimbun, and South China Morning Post. He is the recipient of grants and fellowships from TED, Skoll Foundation, Hewlett Foundation, Dance/USA, Creative Capital, New England Foundation for the Arts, MAP Fund, and Surdna Foundation, and was honored with the Monette-Horwitz Trust Award and named an LGBT+ Creative Leader of Tomorrow by The Dots and WeTransfer.

With deep experience and ingenuity in activism, social entrepreneurship, and community development, Ok is at the forefront of holistic changemaking. An expert networked into and working across multiple sectors, he has adjudicated applications for TED Fellows, Durfee Foundation, and National Endowment for the Arts, convened with culture bearers to support the design of the Center for Cultural Power’s $23 million Constellations Culture Change Fund, and served on the Board of Directors of the Alliance for California Traditional Arts and Los Angeles County's Cultural Equity and Inclusion Initiative. He currently serves on Dance/USA’s Board of Trustees and on the Executive Committee of ខ្ញុំទទួលយក - I ACCEPT (Cambodia’s marriage equality campaign), and provides storytelling, fundraising, and organizational development consultancy services to agribusiness Thaung Enterprise and sustainable clothing brand Dorsu.

Ok is committed to breaking cycles of fear, poverty, and violence. He is invested in art and education for social change, the thriving of refugee, diasporic, and under-resourced youths and families, rightful access to and collective stewardship of nature, and the transformation of systems and cultures to create equity and prosperity. By designing opportunities for joy, connection, and growth, Ok seeks to inspire a world guided by service and giving, one where all people may grow into their highest, fullest selves.
