Yokohama's small scale venue

The performance space itself measures just 56 square meters, with a seating capacity of 40 to 60. Yet even though it is a small space with limited resources, ST Spot relies on the unlimited powers of imagination and creativity. Since it opened on November 18, 1987, ST Spot has worked to present a wide variety of creative works from Japan and around the world. While the bulk of the work at ST Spot is theater and dance, the space also often hosts music, film, gallery exhibits, and other creative activities.

Description

ST Spot is an experimental performance space that was established in November 1987. It is supported by the City of Yokohama and its operations are overseen by the ST Spot Board of Directors. Our mission is to encourage regional artists and develop cultural activities in Yokohama. We have presented various productions of our own and offered a diverse variety of opportunities to artists. ST Spot is not just a performance space, but also an on-going adventure exploring what a small arts organization can accomplish.
