    Inclusivity for the Unknown Future

    When I was a child, I went to a school where there were children with certain disabilities. There were children who were deaf, who were blind, with down-syndrome, with epilepsy, and those who were physically challenged in every class. And we did pretty much everything together.

    In the beginning of August, we have held the national center’s annual assembly and pledged our solidarity toward the World Congress in spite of the COVID-19 situation that we are worldly facing. We shall make every effort to make it happen; we have launched our domestic Coffee Sessions that we aim to hold every 2 weeks and openly discuss the future of TYA, learning from specialists in various fields what we can do for children.

    🌏 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.

    About ricca ricca*festa 2020
    In May 2020, the ASSITEJ World Congress and International Theatre Festival for Children and Young Audiences will take place in Tokyo, for the first time in Japan. It is the event organised every 3 years by ASSITEJ (International Association of Theatre for Children and Young People), a global organisation for practitioners of theatre for young audiences.
    For this memorable 20th edition of the Congress, Hisashi Shimoyama, producer of ricca ricca*festa, has been assigned to take the role of the Artistic Director.
     
    Professionals who work in arts and culture for children and young people will gather from all around the world in order to discuss about the arts for children in the present day and future.
    The festival will present the diverse and quality works from around the globe to share the best current practices of theatre for children and young audiences.
    This ASSITEJ World Congress 2020, the very first congress to be organised in Japan, will be spread from Tokyo to all over Japan and become an opportunity to let the whole Japan think anew about the culture for children.
    This is a new step for the theatre for children and young people in Japan.
     
    The Congress in Tokyo will take place on 14-24 May 2020, and various programme will be   organised across Japan.
    It is confirmed that ricca ricca*festa 2020 will also take place in conjunction with the Congress, which means the dates of the festival will be moved to May 2020.
    More details including dates and registration will be announced soon!
