With the 2020 Olympics approaching and demand rising for the creation and dissemination of arts and culture for the event, the issue at hand is how to represent Tokyo as a city. In this lecture we welcome the two new artistic directors of representative urban performing arts festivals in Taipei and London to join participants in exploring the philosophy behind programming, and the possibilities for festivals. This is also a valuable opportunity to hear the thoughts of our two guests on the role of the artistic director, including the challenges unique to them as artistic directors of festivals set in different lands and environments from their respective home countries of Singapore and Canada. With consecutive Japanese interpretation. Please join us!
