Family, and sometimes classmates. A multi-generational art experience where people can laugh and learn together
This is a special participatory event where parents and children become teammates and take classes together!
The Tokyo Metropolitan Theatre's atelier will be transformed into a club room, where artists active in various fields will serve as teachers and students will engage in club activities centered on moving their bodies and hands, discussing, working together, and engaging in dialogue. It's an opportunity for families to laugh, learn, and discover new things about each other!
