Since fiscal 2022, the Arts Council Tokyo has held meetings to report on the activities of organizations that have implemented projects supported by the "Social Support through Arts and Culture Subsidy." Since fiscal 2024, organizations that have received long-term support from the program and have completed 3 years of subsidized activities have posted video reports online.
This time, we will introduce the practices of Gekidan Dogao, a limited company that supports social participation through the experience of creating a stage together with friends for young people who have difficulty living. We hope that this report will be useful to those who are interested in learning about the awareness we gained in the process of implementing the project and how the young people who participated in it changed.
