For the inaugural event at Morishita Studio on May 20th, choreographer and dancer Akiko Kitamura (ACC 2015) will speak about the ACC fellowship program she undertook in summer 2015, when she travelled to Cambodia, Myanmar, and Manipur to research the traditional music, dance, and martial arts of each country.

Following her talk, Ms. Kitamura will be joined by Shirotama Hitsujiya (ACC 2000) for a conversation about artist networks in Asia and the distinctive cultures of Asia. Ms. Hitsujiya is a playwright and designer, the artistic director of YUBIWA Hotel, and a co-founder of the Conference for Asian Women in Performing Arts.
