Vision for Cosmo-Yume

I have decided to write this document in order to bring clarity to what I am able to contribute to the growth of Cosmo-yume. Please note that the Japanese translation may not accurately reflect the english content, so feel free to ask where something is not clear. The task at hand is going to be an adventure undertaken wherein we all will be learning a lot from each other. I also keep in mind that this project will take a considerable amount of time.Yet,  I feel if that we know what our goals are we can take small steps everyday that leaves this place better than it was the day before. This is exciting and something amazing can be created here. There is an unique opportunity here to combine artistic expression with sustainable and eco-freindly living. There is a tremendous amount of potential and we can create something that is unique in the world.

The Start

Kentaro Sato has built something amazing with his wife and the power of friendship. He strives to learn about the human condition everyday and lives in accordance to a strong intuition. This perhaps lead to the creation of Cosmo-yume. Here there are a restaurant, museum, art space and several community houses. This is the perefect haeven for artistis or thinkers. He has an art park where art can be displayed, as well as a beautiful forest for more instalations. This is not all. There are several rice fields and space for the growing of food. Thus there is the possibility of becoming completely self-sustainable.
This document will try to outline ideas I have for the potential of Cosmo-yume, what it needs and how it can grow to become world famous. The vision and motivation behind this shall be discussed later and in consultation with Sato-san.

Components

The following are components of Cosmo-yume that in combination with each other can create something truly unique. These components will seperately be discussed in regards to what needs to be done in order to actualise them and improve them. Each will require a lot of work, but thanks to the hard work of Sato-san, most of the foundation is already present.   

 Art

•  Music and art festivals

•  Artist residency

•  Art Production and exhibitions

•  Think Space

•  Retreat center (Meditation, healing, education, etc.)

  Agriculture

•  Self-sufficiency

•  Green technology

•  Restaurant

•  Community life

                                            Music and art festivals

Amazing festivals and events can be held in collaboration with artists across the world. I already have a network of artists who might be interested but it is easy for the reputationn of Cosmo-yume to spread via social media. This takes time however and thus starting a social media presence is crucial for letting artists know about the existence of cosmo-yume. My teacher used to say, “It doesn’t matter that you have the best product in the world if nobody knows about it”. Thus social media has the power to attract like minded individuals and build the community. Starting a social media presence is easy but it takes time and management which I am willing to do. Social media allows a bigger audience to be attracted as well.

 

The practical steps to creating social media presence:

1.      Facebook, Instagram and twitter accounts should be created.

2.      Photo’s and clear visions should be updated to this.

3.      Communication and marketing.

4.      Establishing groups of like-minded individuals.

5.      Managing posts and feedback.

The music and art festivals could provide artists numerous oppertunities to improve themselves, have fun and meet like minded individuals. This can create a strong supportive community.
The festivals can only really take place effectively on a large scale if artist residency is possible. This will be discussed later.

 

The festivals if done correctly has the potential to draw people from the city into smaller towns like Aga to witness natural life. This obviously has great economic benefit for the surrounding communities and bring even more oppertunities for growth.

 

Of course, events will differ on availability of artists among many other things, but here is an example of the layout of a typical collaborative music festical:

Day 1: arrival of artists and setup of practice area.

Day 2 and 3: Practicing of sets as well as preparation of stages.

Day 4 and 5: Live shows.

The above event intential occurs over several days in order to fascilitate attendee’s to find accomodatiion in surrounding towns. This presents more economic oppertunities for local bussinesses as well.
Nonetheless, this is only one example and it is possible to plan events more elaborately.

Types of events could include:

•  Artist collaboration shows

•  Artist debut shows

•  Cultural performances

•  Artistic expression seminars or courses

•  Creativity workshops

•  Farming workshops

 

Artist Residency

The numerous buildings owned by Sato-san provides a lot of living space. This can either be rented out or it can be used to host artists, musicians or other like-minded individuals. The goal of hosting artists are that they could have a space in order to practice and develop their art. If we could provide workshop space they can use to produce art then Cosmo Yume could become a hub that attracts artists from all over the world. The artists in return for residency could help with farm work for 2-3 hours a day. Artists can sell their art and choose wether to contribute their earnings to the community or not.The financial model will be discussed later, but the goal of the residency is to create a community that is self-sufficient. This could attract international attention to the village but also provide a strong foothold for artists in Japan to move to the next level.

 

Practical to take in preparation:

•  Analyse living space of buildings and write up holding capacity.

•  Prepare space for art creation (see next section)

•  Contact artists and do networking to see demand for space.

•  Calculate expenses (see financial section)

 

Art Production and Exhibition

If the workshop space can be provided to artists, they can spend time to practice and create new works. The various exhibition spaces (forest and bridge) could be used to host events or exhibitions. General exhibitions could be help once a month, depending on the availability and presence of the artists. These events could attract attention and give artists the space to get exposure. Of course, this also implies economic benefit.

The production of art requires financial support and a budget could be allocated for artist’s use. See financial section on the model that could make this possible. The marketing of art will happen primarily through social media and the artist’s own social media presence, but it could be possible to donate some of the art initially in order to establish friendly relations with potential clients. More clearly, this could mean donating work where it can be seen in public spaces. These are only examples but luckily Satou-san already has an extensive network of clients and aquintances

 

Practical steps to take:

•  Clear, clean up and prepare workshop space near bath.

•  Take note of tools available and put his in a write-up.

•  Prepare exhibition spaces and set up marketing plan.

 

 

コスモ夢舞台のビジョン

コスモ夢舞台の成長に貢献できることを明確にするために、この文書を書くことにしました。日本語の翻訳は英語の内容を正確に反映していない場合がありますので、不明な点についてはお気軽にお問い合わせください。目の前の仕事は、私は多くを学ぶことになる、冒険の始まりです。また、このプロジェクトにはかなりの時間がかかることも念頭に置いていますが、私たちの目標は、この場所を去る前の日よりも良いように、毎日小さな一歩を踏み出すことができるということを私たちが知っていると感じています。これはエキサイティングで、驚くべき何かをここで作成できます。ここには、芸術的表現と持続可能なエコフレンドリーな生活を組み合わせるユニークな機会があります。途方もない可能性があり、私たちは世界でユニークなものを作ることができます。

開始

佐藤賢太郎は妻と友人で素晴らしいものを築き上げました。彼は毎日夢に向かって強い直感に従って生きています。これがおそらくコスモ夢舞台の誕生につながります。ここにはレストラン、美術館、アートスペース、いくつかのコミュニティハウスがあります。これは、芸術家や思想家にとっては完璧なものです。彼は、アートを展示できるアートパークと、より多くのインストラクションを楽しめる美しい森を持っています。これだけではありません。いくつかの水田と食料を育てるスペースがあります。したがって、完全に自立できる可能性があります。
このドキュメントではコスモ夢舞台の可能性について私が持っているアイデア、必要なもの、そして世界的に有名になるためにどのように成長できるかについて概説しようとします。この背後にあるビジョンと動機については、後で、佐藤先生と協議して議論します。

構成

以下は、コスモゆめのコンポーネントで、互いに組み合わせることで、本当にユニークなものを作成できます。これらのコンポーネントについては、それらを実現し、改善するために何をする必要があるかに関して、個別に説明します。それぞれに多くの作業が必要になりますが、佐藤先生の努力のおかげで、コスモ夢舞台のほとんどはすでに存在しています。

      アート

    •音楽と芸術のフェスティバル

    •アーティストの居住

    •アート制作と展示

    •スペースを考える

    •リトリートセンター(瞑想、癒し、教育など)

/・リサイクル

     農業

    •自給自足

・安全無農薬

    •グリーンテクノロジー

    • 飲食店

    •コミュニティ生活

 

音楽と芸術祭

世界中のアーティストとコラボレーションして素晴らしいフェスティバルやイベントを開催できます。私はすでに興味のあるアーティストのネットワークを持っていますが、コスモゆめの評判がソーシャルメディアを介して広まるのは簡単です。ただし、これには時間がかかるため、コスモ夢舞台存在をアーティストに知らせるには、ソーシャルメディアの存在を開始することが重要です。私の南アフリカの先生は、「誰もそれについて知らなければ、あなたが世界で最高の製品を持っていることは問題ではありません」と言っていました。このように、ソーシャルメディアには、志を同じくする個人を引き付け、コミュニティを構築する力があります。ソーシャルメディアプレゼンスを開始するのは簡単ですが、時間と管理に時間がかかります。ソーシャルメディアは、より多くの視聴者を引き付けることもできます。

ソーシャルメディアプレゼンスを作成する実際の手順:

    1. Facebook、Instagram、twitterのアカウントを作成する必要があります。

    2.写真と明確なビジョンをこれに更新する必要があります。

    3.コミュニケーションとマーケティング。

    4.志を同じくする個人のグループを確立する。

    5.投稿とフィードバックの管理。

音楽や芸術のフェスティバルは、アーティストに自分自身を向上させ、楽しみ、心のある個人のように出会うための多くの機会を提供することができます。これは強力な協力的なコミュニティを作成することができます。
フェスティバルは、アーティストの居住が可能である場合にのみ、大規模に効果的に行うことができます。これについては後で説明します。
フェスティバルは、正しく行われると、都市からアガのような小さな町に人々を引き寄せ、自然の生活を目撃する可能性があります。これは明らかに周辺のコミュニティに大きな経済的利益をもたらし、成長の機会をさらに増やします。
