In preparation for launching international co-production projects with other Asian nations, TPAM this year will be presenting various programs of performances, meetings and interviews in association with its partners from Japan and abroad.
Pichet Klunchun and Myself is one of the monumental landmarks of international collaboration in performing arts bringing the two different cultures together on stage, and is still a sizzling topic today after almost a decade since its premiere. About ANGELS, by Yujiro Sagami at TPAM 2012, is going to be restaged with a dancer from Thailand this time. The Chinese up and coming world-touring duo will premiere Miniascape after about two monthes long residency in Japan.
For the interview project we have invited a producer from Japan with extensive experience in producing international collaborations mainly with Europe. With a central focus on South East Asia, this project will be covering the entire region of Asia in the future. The videos of the interviews will be uploaded and archived on the Internet.
