    ⏰ Deadline: 21 November 2019

    Call for submissions 2020 ASSITEJ Magazine

    The 20th ASSITEJ World Congress and Festival will be in Japan from May, 14-24 2020.

    The specific theme for 2020 is Towards the Unknown—Beginning the Journey

    The magazine will be published in English and in Japanese. We will again create a visual magazine that communicates through images and text.  Both visuals and text should address the theme: Beginning the Journey.

    This magazine calls for articles that envision beginning the journey to the future and the unknown from numerous artistic perspectives:

    • How would you start your journey as artists, directors, actors, producers, pedagogues, dramaturgs, researchers, dancers, musicians, scenographers, video artists?
    • How do we see the journey of the audience towards the unknown?
    • What role can the arts and culture provide along the journey?
    • How does TYA begin to address the increasing humanitarian crises affecting children and youth?
    • Can exposure to arts and culture alleviate emotional distress in children and youth, and if so how?
    • How could TYA expand further inclusivity in TYA?
    • Are there examples of TYA that have begun their journey towards the future, and if so how? For better or for worse?

    Articles should

    • be between 500-700 words maximum and sent in Word and PDF (both), Times 12pt font via e-mail
    • include a title and the name of the author at the top, and a 25 word bio of the author at the end.
    • be accompanied by high quality photos in separate files from the article, TIFF preferred but JPEG is acceptable, the size of the files should not be less than 5 MB.
      • Photos should be credited with name of photographer, company, and play.
      • All files should be named by last name of author and country.
      • Submissions should be in English (Japanese translations will be provided)

    How to apply

    ⏰ Deadline: 7 October 2019
    🌏 Tokyo, JPN
    🗓 14 – 24 May 2020

    MIRAI Festival: 2020 International Performing Arts Festival for Children and Young People in Japan / The 20th ASSITEJ World Congress “Towards the Unknown –Beginning the Journey”, is seeking proposals for workshops, practical demonstrations, presentations, seminars, and symposia to be conducted under our main mission theme of the event, “All Our Futures: Children and Culture”.

    Our vision is that we shall actualise an inclusive society where “no one is left behind” (cited from the Sustainable Development Goals), filling the gaps in opportunities for children and young people to participate in cultural life and the arts, without cultural discrimination or exclusion.

    Please submit proposals that link in a clear way to our mission.

    Proposals are open to performing arts practitioners, administrators and researchers from all countries; performers of all genres and techniques, theatre directors, musicians, theatre designers, playwrights, performing arts academics, arts educators and teachers, theatre critics, arts journalists etc.

    We would like to support you to come to the event, if this is possible; however, we are not able to guarantee any financial support at this point, as all the grants in Japan are officially determined only in March 2020. Therefore, we encourage you to apply for any grants that may be available on your side should your proposal be accepted.

    How to apply
