  • Organization : Open Network for Performing Arts Management
  • Section : Project for improvements in the creative environment
  • Type of Grant Program : Single
  • Art Forms : Interdisciplinary

Outline

This lecture series focused on themes such as gender, harassment, communication, inclusion, cultural rights and law, under which organizers considered the relationship between people, arts and culture, and society. Taking the podium were guests HANAKO WADA, KANOKO TAMURA, NAOKO TAKAYAMA, MIHO NAKAMURA, TOKO TANAKA, and MIA NAKAMURA, delivering a total of seven online lectures (including viewing of archived video). Lecturers shared their knowledge with participants and held informal talks after each session where they delivered preliminary reports. After the lecture series finished the reports were also published online free of charge.

The lecture series’ many participants learned about protecting each other’s human rights, reducing attribute-based discrimination, prejudice, and barriers, and about closely supporting the individual’s inner self, and respecting each other.
The expectation is that this will foster an environment where everyone can feel safe and comfortable in a variety of settings including when expressing and appreciating performing arts, positively impact the quality of stage works, and help revitalize the performing arts and improve the sustainability of the creative environment.
