What the official page cannot answer alone.
How specific should the proposal be to Kinosaki?
“I have a performance-research project that could happen in several places. I want to show a real reason for working in Kinosaki without forcing a superficial local theme.”
A strong structure would separate what remains true anywhere from what Kinosaki changes. Name the facility, working conditions or local relationship that alters your method, then explain what you can return to the local context. Avoid decorative references. The location should change the research question, process or exchange—not only the scenery.
What counts as a realistic community-sharing plan?
“I do not want to promise a large workshop before I know the participants or language needs.”
Treat the sharing format as a testable proposal, not a guaranteed audience outcome. State who it could serve, the smallest useful format, what support you would need and how it relates to the work. A studio conversation or open process can be more credible than an oversized workshop if the call permits it.
