The Toshima Art Station Koso program is developing a performance project with Ima theater which will create widespread awareness of the philosophy behind Art Station Koso, and provide impetus for people to get active artistically.
On this occasion a virtual “Art Station Koso Promotions Department” has been established to promote Art Station Koso in a variety of ways. Anyone is free to sign up!

Ima theater (performance project)
Ima theater are composed of Saori Azuma, Miho Inatsugu, Aki Miyatake, and Tomo Yamazaki, who have backgrounds in theater and dance, to put on performances. Ima theater began their activities in 2013 in HAGISO—a small composite cultural facility in Yanaka, Tokyo. They collaborate with “venues,” such as on-foot tours through town, mobile libraries, cafes, and joint productions with people from many different genres including musicians, artists, and architects, as well as with the circumstances created at those venues, in search of the role of performances. They continue on with their undertakings while contemplating places that are both theatrical and reminiscent of Ima (living rooms), in that people gather around and share time and activities together.
