Japan needs the diverse perspectives represented in the creative performance arts & Aya tells us the how and why theatre, acting and performance helps us live healthier and happier lives.

Aya Kawakami Murray is a university educator who founded the Theatre Iridescence in Nagoya and will give us insights on her backstory, vision for the theatre, a bit about her process, and introduce some of the group's upcoming projects. In this talk, Aya introduces why she started the theatre, how she feels about being based in Nagoya Japan and how teaching the performance arts is a great life skill for her students.
