Ichimai Banashi is an interactive performance where everyone in the room creates an improvised story while drawing a picture on a sheet of paper. Taking turns, the participants respond to the host’s questions (What? Why? How?), and drawings are added to expand the story (see the performance video). Since 2011, street performances, indoor workshops and public workshops have been held in various locations, with approximately 3,000 participants creating about 500 stories. (Each session runs for 15 to 30 minutes with between 3 and 20 participants.)
