What is Wings?
Dance Base Yokohama (DaBY) has launched a new project, “Dance Base Yokohama International Dance Project “Wings” for the next generation of creators who want to spread their wings to the world.
This project aims to increase the international presence of Japanese creators, nurture leading Japanese artists, producers, dramaturgs and critics, and create opportunities for overseas performances and further revivals of their works.
The project is named “Wings” (read: wings), and the 12 creators will experience the process of planning, creation, first performance, overseas presentation, and re-staging, through a series of training sessions including dialogues with mentors and instructors, overseas visits, and presentations at trade fairs. The 12 creators experience the process of planning, creation, first performance, overseas presentation, and re-staging. Along with this activity, we expressed our desire to develop an environment in which DaBY can take a leap forward internationally, and to broaden the scope of creators’ activities.
This project is one of three projects* selected by the Agency for Cultural Affairs under the Dance Division of the Creator/Artist Development Program of the Fund for Strengthening the Foundations of Cultural and Artistic Activities (*), with flexible and continuous support over three years based on a five-year activity plan.
Fund for Strengthening the Foundations of Cultural and Artistic Activities
The Fund for Strengthening the Foundations of Cultural and Artistic Activities has been established at the Japan Arts Council to implement projects for fostering creators and artists and adding value to cultural facilities through subsidies provided by the Agency for Cultural Affairs in its supplementary budget for fiscal 2023.
The Fund supports the challenge and development of the next generation of creators and artists, and provides flexible, multi-year support for strengthening the functions of cultural facilities that serve as venues for their activities and activities.
*Other selected organizations are the New National Theatre Foundation and the Japan Performing Arts Foundation (Tokyo Ballet Company).
