Music Program TOKYO Workshop Workshop! Convivial Project Open Lectures & Discussions Vol.1 "Sound Spaces that we design with deaf and hard-of-hearing people—The Accessibility to Musical Experiences" Lectures and Training for the Art Activities leading to Social Inclusion
There are a growing need and increasing attention for activities which spotlight the diversity in the arts in recent years. Such movement introduced legislation for promoting art activities for people with disabilities.
At the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan, our goal is set to realize a society with diversity and conviviality, which requires a higher quality of art activities. And those art activities need the right moment to be developed by raising and looking into the issues. Taking these perspectives into account, we have set up lectures and discussions open to the public with experts of each theme and deaf and hard-of-hearing persons as panelists and lecturers. Understanding and organizing the current situation and the issues of this field will lead us to seek how cultural administrators should confront the situation and issues and how we can deliver higher quality of art activities.

Program |
In part 1, we will re-examine the way of perceiving music to a more profound extent under the theme of “The Accessibility to Musical Experiences.” “Music=Listen” is a usual understanding for hearing persons. If we want to enjoy music without auditory perception, what kind of approaches can we make?
Part 1: Mini-lecture about hearing and deafness/hard of hearing (20 minutes) We will deepen the understanding of deafness and hard of hearing to be aware that there are diverse spaces and worlds of sounds.
Part 2: Music experienced by deaf and hard-of-hearing panelists We will have panelists who are deaf and hard of hearing artists, and they will tell us what music is like for the deaf or people who have some level of hearing problems. The topic will include how they grasp music as physical activity or senses. Through this part, let’s re-imagine how the musical experience should be and its worldview to find the ideal approaches for enjoying music together regardless of hearing.
Part 3: Open Discussion (50 minutes) We will discuss with all panelists and Zoom participants how possible for music to become an experience open to all kinds of people.
Japanese sign language is provided during the program. You can view the sign language on either Zoom Meeting or YouTube live streaming. |
