A place for artists (under 30s) to experience the cutting edge

APAF Young Farmers Camp (YFC) is a study group for Japan-based rising talents (under 30s) in the performing arts. Participants will attend lectures, engage in lively discussions with their peers and foreign artists, as well as observe firsthand the intercultural creative and collaborative processes that take place at APAF. The program encourages its participants to gain new perspectives that will shape their future, allowing the various “seeds” within them to take root.

Profile

Facilitator: Yukio Shiba
Yukio Shiba is a playwright, director, and the head of theater company Mamagoto. His theater practice, which takes him across the county, transpires in various places and forms, whether it be in the theater, onboard a ship, as a school play, or a factory tour. In 2010 Shiba won the 54th Kishida Kunio Drama Award for Our Planet. From his participation in Setouchi Triennale 2013, he began an ongoing regular residency in the island of Shodoshima in Kagawa Prefecture: he has continued to create and present works that engage the islanders and tourists, giving rise to a form of theater that depends entirely on the given time, place, and people involved. In 2017 Shiba presented In our distance, there is no sorrow., in which two plays are performed simultaneously in two adjacent theater spaces, at Festival/Tokyo 2017. This work was recreated and presented the following year, at Taipei Arts Festival in Taiwan. Shiba is also a lecturer at Tama Art University.
