Description
Awaji Art Circus (AAC) is an international performing arts organization, which has held festival events annually since 2015. Centering its activities on Awaji Island (known as the “Birthplace of Japan”), AAC focuses on the promotion of arts and culture, specifically within the broader task of regional revitalization.
Each year, they gather talented performers in a broad range of genres from around the world to showcase their cultures and skills to audiences island-wide by performing in their own originally written shows, which focus on themes related to Awaji Island. Additionally, they cooperate with local institutions to host other events, such as performing at local schools.
Outcome
International artists from around the world are asked to:
- Stay in Awaji Island and entertain visitors with your performance at various locations on the island; as well as
- Experience and enjoy the appeals of Awaji Island and be the messenger as you spread the word about the island through SNS etc.
Through AAC they aim to give opportunities for artists around the world to:
- Express themselves as street performers: carry yourself equipment and props, prepare yourself performance place, perform - do your favorite job and receive fixed payment, not only busking (!!!).
- Get to know Japan, gain new experience at a new place and interact with artists of various genres, as well as to contribute to fostering personnel in the field of art.
