Abstract
In this paper, we have clarified the important elements of the practical program for performing arts
activities for infants by comparing the knowledge accumulated from past activities in Japan with the
“Baby Meets Theater J” held in Yabu City, Hyogo Prefecture.
From the previous cases, the three points are extracted as important elements for the practice
program. (1) Provide a variety of stimuli to infants (2) Include theatrical playfulness (3) Emphasis on a
sense of unity between parents and infants.
In addition, the following three points have been confirmed by this practice. (1) Creating a
comfortable environment. (2) Giving them something that can be used in their daily lives. (3) Recognizing
the circumstance of the region.
