Japan | Performing arts residency 2027–28
Kinosaki International Art Center (KIAC), an artist-in-residence facility for contemporary artistic activities with a focus on the performing arts, invites interested artists to present their projects for the residency in the fiscal year 2027–28 in Toyooka, Japan.
KIAC aims to be like a door to an unknown world or a window to observe the familiar everyday for those who engage with its activities. Unlike a theatre where completed works are programmed, KIAC is an art centre for the creation and community exchange. It is a place for experimentation where resident artists and local residents may be able to interact with each other to create values or works that no one has yet seen.
Individual artists or groups of artists can stay at Kinosaki International Arts Center for their artistic activities for a minimum of 7 days to a maximum of 3 months. Artists are also expected to be willing to communicate with the locals and tourists through the Community Exchange Programme.
Eligibility
Research-based art projects and performing arts projects are both eligible artistic genres and activities.
Support
Kinosaki International Arts Center will support the artists with providing space for creation and accommodation and, staff as follows:
- Free use of Kinosaki International Arts Center hall and studios.
- Free use of the residence of up to 7 rooms.
- Technical staff and coordinators will support the creation and research.
Deadline: 27 June 2026
