Since being appointed Artistic Director of Setagaya Public Theatre in 2002, Kyogen actor Mansai Nomura has dedicated himself to producing a number of works by William Shakespeare as stage productions enlivened with a modern touch.
The other day I had a debate with the artistic director of another public theater who said that avant-garde work is no good for regional audiences. That made me angry and I asked him what avant-garde is.
There are few artistic directors as such in Japan today and young people tend to be shunned because no one knows what they may do. So people with long careers and accomplishment are given these positions like honorary posts.
現在、最後の20年のバービカン劇場の芸術監督,プリマス,
Currently and for the last 20 years Artistic Director of The Barbican Theatre,
The Festival's artistic directors, Cristina Mazzavillani Muti, Franco Masotti and Angelo Nicastro, yearly define a rich program centered on a culturally and artistically relevant theme.
This building, when an artistic director wanted to do a"Cherry Orchard" and wanted people and wanted people to come out of a well on the stage, they brought a backhoe in, and they simply dug the hole.
Furthermore, working as the artistic director of public theaters, he has engaged himself in embodying the concept of'theater as a meeting point for local people', and thus completely transformed the conventional image of public halls.
The color explicitly appeared in the theme/ concept set up by the artistic director, Taro Igarashi;" So that we can pick ourselves up and begin to walk, gazing up at blue skies.
Furthermore, working as an artistic director of public theaters, he has successfully transformed the conventional image of public halls. In recent years, he has been devoted to working on projects in order to foster Asian talents in the theatrical world.
And at the push of a button, it allows the artistic director to move between proscenium, thrust, and in fact, arena and traverse and flat floor, in a very quick transfiguration.
So an artistic director has the ability to have a performance that enters in a Wagnerian procession, shows the first act in thrust, the intermission in a Greek procession, second act in arena, and so forth.
Supporting me on the artistic side I have an artistic director and on the administrative side I have an assistant managing director, both of whom take general responsibility in their respective areas.
