Activities that consider responses to the current performing arts and social environment and their relationship to society, based on an understanding of the DaBY concept*.

In principle, DaBY does not create closed spaces in order to realize a healthy creation environment. We also aim to practice “fair creation” with the intention of creating a place where participating creators and staff can communicate equally. The archive area is open to visitors on a daily basis, and the acting area is open to the public.

*It is also possible to use the room in a closed state by temporarily closing the doors and windows, such as during tryouts or when you want to concentrate.
*If you would like to use a closed space depending on the nature of your activities, please specify this when you apply or consult with us on a case-by-case basis.

To the extent possible, we ask that you share your experiences with DaBY’s dancers in residence. Please cooperate with us when we request you to organize workshops or seminars.
An honorarium will be subsidized for the use of DaBY resident dancers in the submitted projects.

You are required to attend designated seminars such as anti-harassment courses, legal seminars, etc.
