          Website Performing Arts Network Japan just opened!

Performing  Arts  Network  Japan  (www.performingarts.jp) is a Website
dedicated  to  disseminating  information  about  the  stimulating and
highly diverse Japanese performing arts scene. And, with an eye to the
international performing arts scene, each month we will also introduce
presenters who are presently active on the international stage.
The   Japan  Foundation  has  previously  published  English  language
introductions  to  drama  and dance artists in Theater Japan (1989 and
1993),  and an organized survey of the genres of contemporary theater,
contemporary  dance,  butoh, contemporary music, and popular music, in
Performing  Arts  Now  in  Japan  (1995).  We  also presented the most
up-to-date information on the Japan Performing Arts Net Website during
1997-2003 to provide a view of trends in Japanese performing arts.
This  new Website is the integration of these efforts and we sincerely
hope  it will contribute to the promotion of international exchange in
the performing arts.
