Facility Description：
Kyoto Performing Arts Center has two theaters, the large theater, called Shunju-za, and the smaller, called sudio21.
（These are collectively referred to as Kyoto Art Theatre.）
Shunju-za is based on genuine kabuki-style stage and seating lay-out, yet designed to accommodate contemporary theatre. The stage has hanamichi runway, a turntable stage, a toya waiting room, and an orchestra pit as well as other features.
The Kyoto Art Theatre opened in April 2001 with Kyoto University of Art and Design president Toru Haga as the Center’s director, and Shogo Ota as director of research and performance projects. Currently, the center’s main activities include organizing and presenting drama, dance, musical performances, and publishing the journal "Performing Arts."
Kyoto Performing Arts Center conducts research on comprehensive performing arts suitable for art universities.
It is closely linked to theaters and places of creation, instead of just studying the concept of drama or dance on textbooks.
The center has established 4 major research categories of “Cross-bordering of Tradition”, "Physical, Media, Technology", "The comparative Study of Drama in Asia", and "Regional Culture and Performing Arts" that it will focus on for the next 3 years.
With its broad networking of artists in/outside of the center, critics, researchers and other theaters, the center continues to research, with lateral view, many fields ranging from traditional performing arts （Noh, Kyogen and Kabuki） to leading contemporary drama, dance and media performances.
One of the strengths of the Center is that it deals with not only dance but also comprehensive performing arts. Therefore, the Center explores and continues to explore the current state of dance culture relating it with other performing arts. Concerns such as "tradition" and "modern", or "modernism" and "body" are addressed.
:Performance Programs
In the center, leading artists and researchers of the world, who also serve as chief researches at the university, present their experimental works at Kyoto Art Theater. One of the current projects related to contemporary dance is Project "Un Captif Amoureux", planned, choreographed and directed by Setsuko Yamada. It is made based on the text of French novelist Jean Genet and explores the creative relation between body, verbal and visual technology in a long term.
:"Performing Arts" （Journal）
This journal is published 2-3 times a year to introduce the center’s activities. It is more than an academic book of essays as it covers not only studies and research by artists and critics at home and abroad, but also the interviews with those people.
:Nihon Geino Shi － The History of Traditional Japanese Theater and Culture （Open Seminar）
This seminar offers lectures on the history of traditional drama, dance and musical performances.
