Program Summary
This program aims to discuss the role and new Artist in Residence (AiR) possibilities for the performing arts.
Artist-in-residence programs in Japan are expected to play a role in supporting the creative activities of artists as well as encouraging exchanges and activities between artists and the local people. This can be attributed to the fact that local governments took the initiative in launching AIR in its early days and positioned it as a form of regional development.
On the other hand, what is the “region” for AIR and artists? And why do artists travel all the way to those places to perform their activities? Furthermore, what kind of locality will be created there?
The Performing Arts AiR Meeting 2021 held a symposium to clarify the reality and significance of artist-in-residence as a local place in today’s globalized society, using case studies of major AIRs related to the performing arts in Japan and the activities of their resident artists.
