Arts Park

Shizuoka Performing Arts Park is the center of activity of SPAC which lies on the northern foot of the Nihondaira plateau with an area four times that of Tokyo Dome. This park of deep green is dotted with the headquarters, open air theatre “Udo”, ellipse theatre “Daendo”, as well as buildings for rehearsal, training exchanges and accommodations.

The Open Air Theatre “UDO”

野外2

What expresses our overall concept of coexisting with nature the best here at Performing Arts Park is Open Air Theatre. The “Wakakusa stone” slabs harvested from Izu Peninsula covering the ground in front of the subdued black outer walls gives Udo it’s deep presence. For actors to enter and exit, behind the stage itself, we have our very own hanamichi; lined with tea bushes, we call it our “cha michi”. [Designed by ISOZAKI Arata]

Seating capacity (fixed) 400n [Wheelchair seats 2]/Dressing rooms 3/Open width 13.8m/Stage depth 16.71m/Dimmer circuits (30A) 263

Ellipse Theatre “DAENDO”

楕円堂斜め

This elliptical space pitch black stage and white wood scaffolding, takes on an almost mystic feeling when light shines from the dome in the ceiling, sharpening the attention of its audience. The corridor on the upper floor is laden with tatami mats while the lounge provides an excellent view directly facing Mt. Fuji. The contrastive concept of this space is the bright, open upper level coexisting with the more cohesive and concentrated feeling given by the stage and seating in the lower level. [Designed by ISOZAKI Arata]

Seating capacity (movable) 110/Open width 15.70m/Stage depth (Thrust stage)  7.23m/Lifts 2/Dimmer circuits (30A) 140

Rehearsal Hall “BOX THEATRE”

DAENDO

Box Theatre is a simple black box shaped theatre inside the rehearsal building. The stage and seating can be arranged at will for each and every performance where the unity with the audience can be enjoyed to one’s heart’s content. Attached, is Rehearsal Room One, which serves, making best use of its comforting wood design, as a space used for SPAC actors’ daily training.

What’s SPAC

Shizuoka Performing Arts Center (SPAC) was founded in 1995 by Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. SPAC is the first publicly founded cultural organization in Japan to have residential actors as well as a technical and administrative staff that manages its own theatre venues and facilities for artistic purposes. As a creative base of the performing arts, it generates programs of creation, presentation, education and also programs of exchange / collaboration with artists and institutions of Japan and abroad. SUZUKI Tadashi was the first General Artistic Director of SPAC since 1997 through to March, 2007. In April, 2007, MIYAGI Satoshi was appointed as the General Artistic Director and SPAC started its new phase under his direction. SPAC puts its efforts into various kinds of activities such as creating a variety of theatre pieces, organizing “World Theatre Festival Shizuoka”, inviting students to the theatre, developing theatrical human resources, touring abroad, enhancing outreaching program and many more.

SPAC can present some remarkable points.

1. Persons

SPAC is a company with professional persons to create performing arts.
・General Artistic Director: the symbol of SPAC, who leads the organization and authorizes the overall policy.
・Professionals: residential actors, technical staff, directors, production staff who engages with creation.

2. Facilities

SPAC can utilize own facilities such as; “Studio” where actors formulate their disciplined physical bodies for creating original performing arts, and “Venue” to represent their outputs. Venues have high standard structures and expertise, which are facilities specialized in performing arts for only SPAC’s use, not for rent. In Japan, SPAC is the first model case realizing European theatre system as “A theatre with software”. SPAC has been accepting a lot of attentions in this context, as well as from the viewpoint of cultural policy by a local government.

3. Pieces

SPAC original pieces are highly evaluated both domestically and internationally, continuing presentation in more than eleven countries such as United States, Greek, Russia, France, and Italy. Its repertoires are treasures of SPAC, achieved by own-based staff and actors.

4. Theatre, for communication and connection

Theatre is a window to the world. Not only creation activities, SPAC also holds international performing arts festivals and programs for human resources development to nurture future artists. The energy emitted by a human body on the stage is a once-in-a-lifetime one. SPAC provides opportunities to feel such energy, to inspire creativity and imagination of both performers and audiences. Where both of them can meet each other is “a theatre”.

MIYAGI Satoshi / General Artistic Director

Born in 1959 in Tokyo. He is the General Artistic Director of the Shizuoka Performing Arts Center (SPAC). He studied the theory of drama from Yushi ODASHIMA, Moriaki WATANABE, and Hachiro HITAKA at Tokyo University, and founded Ku Na’uka Theatre Company in 1990. He is engaged in various international performance activities, and is praised for his direction fusing the contemporary interpretation of text and the physical techniques and stylization of Asian plays. He was appointed as the General Artistic Director of the SPAC in April of 2007. He not only performs his original work but also invites various works that sharply depict the modern society from around the world, and is working to create a theater as a “window to look out toward the world.” After the success of “Mahabharata” which received an invitation to and was performed at Festival d’Avignon in July 2014, he performed “Antigone” in 2017 as the opening act of the Festival at the Cour d’honneur du Palais des papes. It was the first time in the Festival’s history that an Asian play was selected as the opening act, and the world depicted by the work caused a great reaction. His other representative works include “Medea” and “Peer Gynt.” He received the Grand Prix of the 3rd Asahi Performing Arts Awards (2004), the 2nd Asahi Beer Art Prize (2005), and the 68th Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology’s Art Encouragement Prize of Drama (2018).

Révélation

A drama that deeply cuts to the truth of the slave trade which caused the disintegration of Africa is recreated as a theatrical musical with a festive atmosphere with Miyagi’s distinct views on life and death. The actors’ voices and bodies and the music together play a hymn to human dignity.

Miyagi and SPAC are privileged to bring out this new program at the request of La Colline – théâtre national, a French theatre that exclusively performs works by modern playwrights. It is the theatre’s first time to have a Japanese company create a program to open a new season. This program is based on the groundbreaking work of a Cameroonian female author living in France, Léonora MIANO. This program was performed for the first time in the world in Paris in September 2018 and will be brought to the Shizuoka Arts Theatre in January 2019.

Synopsis

The Creator of all living things, Inyi, sees the rise of a new challenge—a “strike” of reincarnating souls refusing to go back into human bodies against the laws of the universe. Inyi gathers the lost souls to ask the reasons for their resistance. There, she hears the cries of the souls that have gone through horrible lives as slaves. Inyi starts on the judgment of the souls that created the causes for their cries.

Spinning Gears

 
A novel written by AKUTAGAWA Ryunosuke in his final years is adapted into a performance by TADA Junnosuke.
 
Released after the author’s suicide in 1927, the novel “Spinning Gears” depicts a man writing a novel in a hotel in Tokyo at which he stays for a few days to attend his acquaintance’s wedding ceremony. He keeps working on writing as a way to keep his head together through the fear of destruction and death triggered by the news of his brother-in-law’s death. The main character provokes the image of the author himself, who was also facing the shadow of the approaching death at the time of writing the novel. This is the first SPAC program directed by TADA Junnosuke, a director with increasing domestic and international recognition as the head of theatre company Tokyo Deathlock and Artistic Director at Cultural Centre of Fujimi City, KIRARI FUJIMI.

The Lesson [La Leçon]

One day, a student visits a professor to receive private tutoring.
The tutoring sessions that seemed ordinary and harmless gradually go off track, leading to the most unexpected ending.

The Lesson: A Comic Drama is a theatrical play written by Romanian playwright Eugène Ionesco, which was originally released in 1950. Leveraging the surreal humor permeating the play, Ionesco revealed the madness and dysfunctional communication lurking in day-to-day life. MIYAGI Satoshi selected the most talented stage director of our generation, NISHI Satoshi, whose comeback has been long awaited through the years of his silence after gaining great esteem, to direct the staging of this absurd theater masterpiece that has been played all over the world through the past half century.

KOJIKI episode 1


<Director’s Profile>
Satoshi MIYAGI
Born in Tokyo in 1959. Director. General Artistic Director of SPAC – Shizuoka Performing Arts Center. Studied aesthetics from Yuushi ODASHIMA, Moriaki WATANABE, and Hachiro HIDAKA at Tokyo University, and founded the new theater company KU NA’UKA in 1990. Being active in the international industry, his directing, which fuses contemporary textual interpretations with physical techniques and patterns of Asian theater, receives high acclaims both domestically and abroad. He was appointed as the General Artistic Director of SPAC in April of 2007. Along with presentations of his own works, he invites pieces that sharply cut away at modern society from regions all over the world. Furthermore, he has started a new project aimed at the youth of Shizuoka, putting efforts into presenting theater as “a window to the world”. He is best known for such pieces as Medea, Mahabharata, Peer Gynt etc. In 2004 he received The 3rd Asahi Performing Arts Award. In 2005 he received The 2nd Asahi Beer Art Award.

Open-air Performing Arts Festival under Mt. Fuji
In addition to the beautiful look out points that behold the surrounding scenery, the grandeur of Mt. Fuji has been subject to religious beliefs since ancient times and has continually stood as a womb that gives birth to countless works of art. The cities, towns and villages of both Shizuoka and Yamanashi Prefectures, in order to hand down to following generations the beautiful landscape as inheritance to share among humanity, have begun taking the proper measures in registering Mt. Fuji as a Cultural World Heritage. And now, the long awaited deliberation as to whether it will be registered as one will be held at the 37th session of the World Heritage Committee in Cambodia in June of 2013. This time, at the World Theater Festival Shizuoka under Mt. Fuji 2013, during the Performing Arts Festival under Mt. Fuji being held at the same time, we will be broadcasting to the world the allure of Mt. Fuji through the arts at several locations such as Fujisan Miyamoto Sengen Grand Shrine Main Shrine (Fujinomiya City), as well as Shimizu Port (Shizuoka City) and Granship Square (Shizuoka City) with the beautiful Mt. Fuji standing tall in the back ground.

New Age Short Spectacle!



<KADEN Theatrical Art Company>


Started in 2006 by Producer and Director Okada Madoka. They present numerous small to mid-scale plays in Tokyo, using a unique method of fusing physical expressions stemming from ancient Japanese performance methods (Noh, Kabuki, Kagura), with those from western regions (Mime, Masquerade, Contemporary dance), while focusing on concepts like “Tokoyo” (timelessness), “Utsushiyo” (this transient world), and “Mugen” (dream-like visions). They have relocated to Kimitsu City in Chiba Prefecture and are currently actively creating domestically and overseas, presenting pieces created with international cooperation.

<Gekidan Watanabe>


Formed in 2004. Their center is Theater “Atelier Mirume” in Shizuoka City of Shizuoka Prefecture and besides their studio’s performances and on-road performances, they do production planning for outdoor theater, theater cafes and stage directing for festivals. Their repertoire contains pieces that use things like the plays of Ionesco or Brecht and modern Japanese literature as subject matter.
Made up of core members in their 30’s that take theater as their nourishment for living, they are diligently active in Shizuoka at the moment.


<KAMAGAYA Art Guild>


They are a theater group that bases their production on a pear farm of Kamagaya City in Chiba Prefecture and the direct sales stand on the same land. On the last day of December, 2002, they formed in the basement of the Tokyo University of Agriculture, and started by putting Seishi Yokomizo’s novel into a stage piece. They aim at creating such an “occurrence in front of your eyes” that you forget to blink. They ambitiously tackle a variety of dramas from classic to modern. Their stage, full of profound art and acting physiques that overflow with vigor, has gained wide praise.

Open-air Performing Arts Festival under Mt. Fuji

We will be presenting back-to-back outdoor performances by 3 domestic theater groups in Granship Square.
Please enjoy the spectacle of well-spirited theatrical performers jumping off the stage.
