Platform for Thinking About Regional Challenges Dates: Year-round

Ongoing since 2017, ROHM Theatre Kyoto’s Platform for Thinking About Regional Challenges aims to activate the local community through arts and culture in order to fulfill the role of a theatre building not as something that should exist just for the performing arts, but as a hub connecting different kinds of people rooted in the local area. From the 2019 program, it has been endeavoring to explore together with people with disabilities and related professionals in the field what it means for a theatre to be truly open to everyone regardless of ability or disability. This year, it is continuing these efforts through study sessions and hearings with welfare facilities, and by making certain performances more accessible to people with disabilities.
