Japan | Asian Performing Arts Camp 2024

Tokyo Festival Farm is calling for applications from performing arts practitioners working in various parts of Asia for the Asian Performing Arts Camp, from 25 August to 30 September 2024.

Using their own personal themes and concerns as starting points, the campers participate in lectures and workshops, hold discussions with people from different countries and cultures, and conduct research and fieldwork. Through this process, the Camp aims to help artists cultivate thoughts and ideas together, and to explore future possibilities for their own practices and fields.

There will be two online camps (25 August and 1 September) followed by an in-person meeting in Tokyo, from 15 to 30 September 2024. The final day will feature a presentation session that is open to the public, where participants can share what they have gained and exchange thoughts with the audience, thus fostering their own artistic growth.

Eligibility includes:

Directors, choreographers, playwrights, dramaturgs, producers, or any artists
Aged 35 or younger (or those who are over 36 years old but have been involved in artistic activities for 8 years or less)
Based in Asia
