What is an “Accident” of a Nuclear Power Plant? Part 2
“The Smooth Criminal Called “Nuclear Power Plant”—Can’t Stand It Anymore”
Speakers:


Kentaro Takahashi (Music Critic / Music Producer / Board Member, APAST),
Music critic, music producer, the producer of a music streaming website “ototoy,” a board member of a non-profit organization APAST. Born in 1956 in Tokyo and graduated from the Faculty of Social Sciences at Hitotsubashi University. After traveling in Jamaica in 1982, he started to work as music critic, and an anthology of his critical writings Ongaku no Mirai ni Yomigaeru Mono (what is revived in the future of music) was published in 1991, which was republished as Pop Music no Yukue (the future of pop music) in 2010. In 2004, he organized symposia against the revision of the Copyright Act and was summoned as a witness to the Diet. In 2007, he organized a signature campaign against restarting operation of the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant with collaborators including Ryuichi Sakamoto.


Ayumu Yasutomi (Professor, Institute for Advanced Studies on Asia, The University of Tokyo)
Starting from question on the lack of reality in economics, he went through theoretical economics, East Asian history, dynamical systems, anthropology, environmental issues and field work on Huangtu Plateau, and discovered the fundamental relationship between cybernetics and Eastern philosophy. Currently he aims to establish “social ecology” as a new study that is useful for people to decolonoze their souls to survive. Among his recent publications are Ikiru Gihou (technique for living) and Genpatsu Kiki to Todai Waho—Bokansha no Ronri, Giman no Gengo (the nuclear power plant crisis and the mode of speech of the University of Tokyo—bystanders’ logic and deceptive language).

Petit coin de France / Ice breakers

Geared to programmers from around the world, the Ice-breakers allow the artists to present their artistic approaches and projects. This recipe gives artistic teams, individual talktime with programmers; if they wish, they can also show excerpts from their previous shows.
The format allows initial contacts and enables small groups of programmers to meet several artists and exchange with them.
In an intimate and helping discussions space, several directors and choreographers, among the most promising of the French scene, will present their projects.
The meetings are organized in such a way that, in the course of the afternoon session, small groups can go from one salon to another, meeting and engaging in direct, individual exchanges with several artists. Presenters have to arrive at 13:30pm and to stay 2 hours to meet the artists who will attend “Petit coin de France.”

Dates: February 17 (Fri), 18 (Sat) 13:30 - 15:30
Venue: Yokohama Creativecity Center (YCC) 1F, café space
Organized by: Onda French Office for Contemporary Performing Arts Circulation, Institut franco-japonais de Tokyo et Yokohama, Performing Arts Meeting in Yokohama 2012 Executive Committee
