Yokohama International Performing Arts Meeting 2025（YPAM2025）

YPAM (Yokohama International Performing Arts Meeting) is a platform where performing arts professionals from Japan and abroad connect through performance programs and meetings, gaining information, inspiration, and networks that contribute to the creation, dissemination, and revitalization of the performing arts. It began in Tokyo in 1995 as TPAM (Tokyo Performing Arts Market), and moved to Yokohama—recognized as a “Creative City”—in 2011. Today, it is internationally acknowledged as one of the most influential performing arts platforms in Asia, celebrating its 30th edition this year. Most performance programs are also open to the general public. (Quoted from the official YPAM website)
