'2.5D STAFF FESTIVAL' is an event that introduces the work of 2.5D stage staff through lectures and experiential formats.
Each time, we invite professionals from various sections to explain in detail what kind of work they do, accompanied by demonstrations!
You might be able to imagine the behind-the-scenes of the stages you usually watch, the scenery before the curtain rises, or during rehearsals!
This is a must-see event for anyone interested in behind-the-scenes work or aspiring to work in theater!
'2.5D STAFF FESTIVAL' started in Ikebukuro in 2024. After vol.1, vol.2, and vol.2.5, which made its first appearance in Kansai, it is now expanding to Shinjuku Theater Sun Mall! It will showcase the charms of diverse sections.
Highlights
At '2.5D STAFF FESTIVAL,' 'professionals' who support 2.5D stage will explain the specific content and rewards of their work, accompanied by demonstrations.
In addition, a Q&A corner will be set up at each session as a place for communication with visitors, where attendees can directly ask questions to the performers.
This time, with the theme of collaboration between multiple sections, we will introduce how each section operates from receiving the initial request to delivering it to the audience, and how theater, often called a comprehensive art, is created!
Why not increase your ways of watching theater by learning about the behind-the-scenes?
