Description
International Creations in Performing Arts is a Japan Foundation program supporting creative work jointly organized between Japanese and international artists. It is part of the Foundation’s arts and cultural exchange activities, with interactive collaboration and co-production at the center of its approach. The Foundation seeks organizations to jointly organize these international creations.
The program emphasizes performing arts work created together across national contexts, rather than cultural exchange as a one-way presentation. Its stated priorities are networking and human resource development through collaborative relationships, connecting the organizational work of developing projects with shared creative work among participating artists.
