TPAM is an international platform for performing arts.
It is a place for "Meeting" consisting of a discussion/presentation section for the improvement and development of activities in the performing arts sector through networking professionals and a performance section for discovering and introducing works that are responsive to the contemporary reality.
It has almost been a year since the 3/11. The disaster of the earthquake and tsunamis and the accident of the nuclear power plant have been undermining the condition of survival and the structure of society. TPAM in Yokohama 2012 tries to be a response to the situation in the belief that performing arts relate deeply to the fundamentals.

TPAMiY Summer Session
August 5-7, 2011!
As a project in association with Performing Arts Meeting in Yokohama (TPAM in Yokohama / TPAMiY) that was held in February 2011, we held "TPAMiY Summer Session" in this August.
The disaster caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11, 2011 and the accident of the nuclear plant drastically changed our environment. Contradictions of the contemporary society that had already existed have become explicitly visible, and performing arts professionals need information and ideas more than ever to survive. This session is for discussing "post 3/11," which can also be said to be the times of networking.
Upon the Earthquake Disaster
Kindly asked by a colleague in Korea to write about the situation after the Great East Japan Earthquake, PARC's director Hiromi Maruoka wrote a text for the web magazine of KAMS (Korea Arts Management Network), "Weekly@Arts Management." It is also posted on the websites of IETM and International Coalition for Arts, Human Rights & Social Justice.
