The second phase of "Paperbacks," a project to form a platform for discourses on the performing arts
Business Overview
In the second phase of the “Paperback ” project to form a platform for discourses on performing arts, we implemented the“ Paperback WEB ” project, which is an online platform for discourses before and after performing arts works through interviews and critical articles.
In the 2nd term from July 2024, we invited Yurika KURAMIYA, an art coordinator and dance critic, as a guest curator, and published articles on 4 stage works. In addition to interviews and critical articles featuring works curated by the editorial department, led by editor-in-chief Yamazaki Kenta, a collaboration project with public theaters has also started. It also published a report on a talk event and a roundtable discussion, drawing attention.
