SG Radio Show 001
6 June 2025
Kyoto Experiment (Yoko Kawasaki & Yuya Tsukahara)
& This DJ Is Wonderful
In our debut episode, co-hosted by Cristina P. Leitão, River Lin and Rui Silveira, we caught up with Yoko Kawasaki and Yuya Tsukahara, co-artistic directors of Kyoto Experiment — the festival that has been shaking up Japan’s contemporary performing arts scene since 2010.
Yoko and Yuya shared how it all began, what’s shifting across the cultural landscape in Japan and Asia, and what it means to curate a festival in dialogue with a city like Kyoto.
This first experimental radio show also featured a few notes from Rui on what had been happening at Something Great, along with a look ahead at the months to come as we continued our transformation into an arts centre.
And to round it out: the first exclusive mix for SG Radio by our resident, This DJ Is Wonderful.
