For TPAM 2019, the Japan Foundation Asia Center is, again, inviting 40 professionals engaging in creation of contemporary performing arts.

Another week of Performing Arts begins in Yokohama from February 9 to 17, where professionals in the field all gather to interact, discuss challenges, and build their networks.
Now in our fifth year since we began to work with TPAM in their programs focusing on Asia, we will still continue to bring the rich and diverse performing arts of Asia to a wider audience.
