The Japan Foundation in collaboration with the British Council have invited three leading professionals from Japan to talk about their performing arts activities that aim to encourage interesting dimensions of artistic creativity and foster connections between artists and society. These activities often take place beyond conventional theatre spaces, producing positive dialogue and new artistic networks.

Speakers:
Yumina Kato, Steep Slope Studio
Hiromi Maruoka, Japan Centre, Pacific Basin Arts Communication (PARC)
Hisako Yamaura, Museum of Art, Kochi

In an illustrated presentation, each guest will introduce recent examples of their activities and the philosophy behind them. There will also be a brief discussion amongst the speakers with the opportunity for comments and questions from the audience.

This promises to be a rare and stimulating opportunity to learn about recent, exciting developments in the world of Japanese performing arts, where activities are conceived from a new perspective.
