> The Objectives of the Study
The objective for this year will be a cooperation between the fields of theatre and researchers. We aim to find a common ground between theoretical research and practical research, and to find new ways for doing research that will integrate both of them with balance. In the future, this research will include cooperative projects with National Public Theatres. This research should be considered as preparation for future research – The studies of Cultural Environment for Theatre – for the 21st Century COE program.

> Studies for This Year
Visit of domestic theatres and interviews with persons in charge of theatre management are the main part of activities.Several meetings for the presentation of the research and discussion will be held. Due to limited budget, national and public theatres located in Tokyo area such as the Setagaya Public Theatre, the Yokohama Noh Theater, the New National Theatre of Tokyo etc. are the main objects of our research, while we are planning to visit one or two theatres located in local cities. The detailed plan is as follows:
