#Black Lives Matter

TYA/USA will not remain silent as we continue to experience the emergency of systemic racism. We grieve the senseless and unjust killing of George Floyd, and the countless others who have lost their lives to injustice and police brutality. Black lives matter, and children need to be included in the conversation in order to make change.

We are happy to announce the call for international performances for Bibu and the ASSITEJ Artistic Gathering 2022!

Bibu and ASSITEJ Artistic Gathering 2022 acknowledges Indigenous peoples of the past, present and future worldwide as the custodians, inheritors and practitioners of unique cultures, worldviews and relations to land and environments. The Indigenous peoples have retained social, cultural, economic and political characteristics that are distinct from those of the dominant societies in which they live. Despite their cultural differences, Indigenous peoples from around the world share common problems related to the protection of their rights as distinct peoples.

In an effort to create a linking network between the world’s indigenous cultures, Bibu and the AAG 2022 aims to enhance international visibility for Indigenous people.

For the international part, the Board of Directors will welcome innovative international applications that are visioned, produced and creatively led by Indigenous Performing Artists.

We want to create an international platform thus drawing attention to the breadth of contemporary Indigenous performances — with works spanning from theatre, dance, storytelling/storysong and multidisciplinary performance art with a combination of both cultural and contemporary artistic expressions.

We invite applications of performances coming from or being produced by and with Indigenous Peoples and being directed towards an audience of children, youth and families.

Read more at the Bibu web-site about Indigenous performances, about the criterion and how to apply. Applications can be submitted no later than October 1^st 2021.

Go to the application form

The Selection Committee

The international performances for the biennal 2022 will be selected by an international committee consisting of six artists and leaders from a global representation of Indigenous Peoples:

Alice Chiang
Denise Bolduc
Jacob Boehme
Jefferson J. Dirks Korkee
Niclas Malmcrona
Åsa Simma

Most of us – as artists and individuals – are in a difficult situation. We have to face fear and uncertainty, stress, disappointment and anger. In this Coffee Session we talk about ourselves with focus on strategies to cope with the crisis. Feel free to join!

We invite 3 experts to give impulses:
1. Pamela Udoka, psychologist from Lagos / Nigeria talks about the strategies in Western Africa to manage the (permanent) crisis as individual.
  Moderation: Stefan Fischer-Fels
2. Dr. Birte Werner, head of department for performing arts at Bundesakademie Wolffenbüttel / Germany. She will introduce a creative and inspiring method to experience together in the Session: the “Circle of Influence”.
  Moderation: Julia Dina Heße (Assitej Germany)
3. Yukiko Kurokawa, Ph.D.Clinical Psychologist. Director of YUKIKO KUROKAWA Institute of Gerontology. Sophia University Professor Emeritus / Japan. Namita, Yoga expert / Japan. Asian perspectives on “dealing with a crisis”.
  Dr Kurokawahas been working with people with cognitive challenges and their families using life review, reminiscence, art and other methods. Currently, she is the vice-president of Japanese Society of
  Clinical Geropsychology.
  Born and raised to Indian and Japanese parents in Kobe, Japan, Namita’s curiosity towards India grew and began practicing yoga at age seventeen. In 2009, Namita started working at a elite securities firm. Although high-intensity, every social, educational, technical, practical experience was a learning opportunity. Time came when Namita decided to take the next big step. Originally, she started yoga with the curiosity to get closer to India. What better way than to actually go? In 2012, she travelled to Rishikesh, India, for a Yoga Alliance 200-hour teacher training program, and received her 300-hour in 2015. In between, she taught yoga while continuing her studies at Oxford University and various parts of Tokyo on mindfulness, maternity and postnatal yoga, and kids yoga. She currently teaches private and group lessons to a wide range of ages, backgrounds, and fitness levels in downtown Tokyo. With individualized Hatha yoga lessons in English or Japanese, Namita understands the stress of living in Tokyo and is guaranteed to help you maximize the gift you give to your body.
  Moderation: Kenjiro Otani.
After the impulses we will separate into 3 groups and go deeper with the 3 panelists.

ASSITEJ Lebanon/Khayal together with a group of theater practitioners and organisations in Lebanon created the “Theatre Relief Group in Lebanon”, in a state of emergency after the explosion that took place in the port of Beirut on August 4th, 2020.

The aim is to offer immediate and rapid support to the theater community working in Lebanon that has been directly affected by the catastrophic explosion whether the damage is in the form of physical wounds, damage to homes or damage to theater working spaces.

They launched an imaginary performance “Beirut, No Show tonight”, every person who wants to support can purchase tickets online, to this performance that will not happen. It cannot happen. The proceeds, with the utmost transparency, will go toward helping theater practitioners who have been injured, who have lost their homes, and toward theater collectives that cannot sustain themselves as well as theater venues that have been damaged.

Here is the link on facebook.

The event has passed but as it was imaginary, you can still support this initiative by purchasing tickets here.
