Tokyo Festival Farm 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 participants conduct research and fieldwork, hold discussions with people from different countries and cultures, and participate in lectures and workshops. 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.
The 2023 edition of the Camp will adopt a hybrid format, combining online activities with a stay in Tokyo lasting around one week. 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 and guests, thus fostering their own artistic growth.
Activities run from 21 July – 17 October 2023. If you are a creative based in Asia (aged 35 or younger) who plays an integral role in performing arts productions, whether as director, choreographer, playwright, dramaturg, producer or other, you are encouraged you to apply for this programme.
Among other forms of support, for the stay in Tokyo the programme provides a per diem, accommodation, and round-trip flight tickets.
