YPAM
*Collaborate Organization
YPAM (Yokohama International Performing Arts Meeting) is a platform where performing arts professionals from around the world connect through performances and meeting programs to gain information, inspiration and networks for the creation, dissemination and vitalization of the performing arts. First established in 1995 as TPAM (Tokyo Performing Arts Market), and based in the “Creative City” Yokohama since 2011, YPAM has become internationally recognized as one of the most influential performing arts platforms in Asia, now in its 30th year. Most performance programs are accessible to non-professional audiences.
This program has been implemented by The Association of Public Theaters and Halls in Japan under commission from the “Creator & Artist Development Support Program” of the Japan Creator Support Fund.
