Festival Report フェスティバル レポート 2016

The new project "Round Table"

The committee held an official "Round Table" for the first time in this festival.

In the meeting, artists demonstrate their profile sheets to directors of another international festivals,
and directors demonstrate their festivals to artists.
In other words, the Round Table is a messe where directors discover attractive artists.
Such messes are actively held in international festivals abroad, but no precedent in Japan.
The committee wants the Round Table to provide opportunities of performing abroad for more artists.

This new approach was subvented by Shizuoka city and it will be held next year and beyond.
May lots of artists receive impulses from the Round Table and find their way into all over the world.

By the way, it's very difficult to distinguish the artists without makeup or costume.
