Greetings!
I know that there are those in areas that are finally starting to reopen. How is everyone doing? Here in Los Angeles, we are continuing to work from home and we’ve also been enjoying our time at home. So far we’ve had successful Facebook Live events such as Music Mondays and Wellness Wednesdays. It was our first attempt in conducting online events but we’ve had many live viewers. Thank you very much for watching and leaving many warm comments! It’s been two months since we dove into this social-distanced world. It feels too short to see the light at the end of tunnel, yet quite enough to acquire just some basic skill sets to plan and manage online projects. From June, we will kick off several new programs. Among these new programs, I would like to mention that we will be live streaming contemporary dance straight from Japan. Although details will be announced later, it’s going to be a wonderful experience that is not just going to substitute being in a physical theater. And of course, we will continue to improve weekly broadcasting, which were mentioned above, and strongly commit ourselves to supporting the language learning community, which has been severely hit by this situation. We are excited to be collaborating with other organizations and challenging ourselves further. Let’s keep in touch with each other, with 6 feet distance!
Sincerely,
Shimpei Ishii
Deputy Director
