Asian Performing Arts Camp is a programme for performing arts practitioners working in various parts of Asia. 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.
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 eight years or less, based in Asia, are eligible to apply.
Support includes accommodation, per diem (2,000 JPY x 14 days), event insurance, production expenses (up to 5,000 JPY), communication support, round-trip flight tickets from the nearest international airport (for international applicants), round-trip transportation from residence to Tokyo (for participants living outside of the Kanto region).
