A special feature on timeless jazz standards

Kawasaki City Art Center opened in October 2007 as a symbol of "Shinyuri, the City of Arts." The center is made up of two theaters: the Arterio Small Theater, where the stage and the seats are close together for easy viewing, and the Arterio Movie Theater, where you can watch movies in comfortable chairs. These two theaters are compact yet authentic, making this a facility where you can enjoy theater, movies, music, and more up close.



The Arterio Small Theater has started to name its sponsored performances "Shinyuri Theater." This public theater aims to become a regional theater that brings together professional theater and musical actors and directors and serves as a creative hub for the Shin-Yurigaoka area. The Kawasaki City Art Center is unique in that it has launched a local resident participation group called "Theater Company Wagamachi," which allows people to participate in performing arts rather than just watch.



As a local mini-theater, Arterio Video Theater screens unique works from around the world that are not shown at cinema complexes. They also provide detailed services such as barrier-free screenings for the visually and hearing impaired, and screenings with childcare. They also hold film and animation production workshops for elementary school students and video production courses for adults every year.



In addition to these two theaters, there is also a recording room suitable for recording narration and music, and a video editing room equipped with a Final Cut Pro editing system, which are available for rental.
