Body Arts Laboratory

About

Body Arts Laboratory (BAL) was founded in 2008 as a response to the cultural need for a new type of art organization to improve the future of the performing-arts environment in Japan. The organization’s mission supports the creation of works by performing artists and offers exchange opportunities between body-based artists from different generations and disciplines. BAL encourages artists to pursue their own relationship to this question,” What is the role of performing-artists in contemporary Japanese society?”
