Overview
Setagaya Public Theater is a public theater created by Setagaya Ward.
Since its opening, the theater has not only held performances, but has also been actively involved in workshops and educational programs, aiming to become a theater open to the community.Specifically, over the past 26 years, we have been involved in a variety of initiatives, including holding theater workshop programs in our rehearsal halls that everyone from children to adults can participate in, and holding workshops during classes at elementary and junior high schools in the ward. It has expanded.
Our mission to continue creating open spaces remains unchanged.However, as society changes, the ways in which open spaces are created and the way they exist are diversifying.Now, I would like to once again think about ``public spaces'' with all of you gathered here, while referring to examples of initiatives to ``open spaces to local communities'' that are being put into practice in various regions from their own perspectives.
In recent years, as local communities have changed, efforts to create ``public'' spaces that respond to the needs of society have become more widespread, in ways that are not public facilities such as the Setagaya Public Theater, in other words, in grassroots or alternative ways. I am.
In this lecture, we will introduce three examples of ``public'' places with different regions, scales, and origins, and invite everyone gathered to think about how art can create public spaces within local communities. I would like to come.
One of the cases we will introduce is a company that operates a theater and guest house in Ueda City."Rhinoceros horn"is.In response to the community issues that have become apparent during the coronavirus pandemic, we are engaging in activities that re-examine the role of theater while connecting with local civic groups. The second one is in Hamamatsu City."Takeshi Cultural Center".We are trying to change the town through art, starting with activities we started while facing the challenges of welfare for people with disabilities.And the third one is Yokohama City."Yokohama Paradise Hall"is.From my standpoint as an artist, I open a space where people and events from various backgrounds, such as foreigners and people who are considered minorities, can intersect.
In addition to reporting on each case study, we hope to provide plenty of time for cross-talk, listening to stories about the reason for creating the venue, their thoughts on the activity, and plans for the future.We would like to proceed with this project while receiving many opinions from everyone who participates.
