Performance Kids Tokyo
You play the lead! Children will create a stage with professional artists.
Synopsis
Professional artists in dance or theater will provide workshops at schools and in public auditoriums. Together, elementary school and junior high school students will create an original stage play in which children will play the leading characters.
Schedule
September, 2008 -March, 2009
Venue
Public halls and elementary schools in Tokyo
Organizers
Tokyo Metropolitan Government, Tokyo Metropolitan Foundation for History and Culture, and Artist's Studio In A School (ASIAS, Nonprofit Organization)
Outline
Through the creation of stage play, children working in teams will be encouraged to exercise their initiative and creativity as well as communication skills. By working closely with professional artists away from normal class activities, children will be able to learn about the characters and way of life of those artists, and this could lead to a career education for them. Our goal is to help incorporate these skills into school education, and help children utilize them at school plays and show-and-tells, and ultimately improve their presentation skills. For public auditoriums, with support from local residents, we invite local children to create stage plays together to strive for regional revitalization.
