IETM-TPAM Asia Satellite Meeting in Yokohama

IETM members are warmly invited to attend the next Asia Satellite meeting in Yokohama (Japan) from Monday 14th to Wednesday 17th February 2011. We advise that you arrive a few days before the start of the Satellite Meeting, to attend Yokohama Dance Collection Ex2011 from Friday 11 to Sunday 13 February, and to stay on as well for a renewed-concept TPAM Wednesday 16th to Sunday 20th February. This IETM-TPAM Satellite is the latest in a series of IETM events in Asia since 2005 (Satellite meetings in Singapore 05, Beijing & Shanghai 06, Seoul 07, Tokyo 08 and Jakarta this year) and it links to the Asian Producers Network initiated by colleagues we met during those events. The new definition of TPAM (Today/Tomorrow Performing Arts Meeting - formerly the Tokyo Performing Arts Market) reflects current changes in the Japanese performing arts environment: changes in the subsidy system, a new generation of artists and art presenters placed in leading positions, the creation of responsible Arts Councils… This IETM-TPAM Satellite will look at these changes in Japan, in Asia and in Europe and will also investigate and present strong arguments proving the value of culture in our societies, on both sides of the world.
