[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heeyoon] The Arko Daehangno Arts Theater of the Korea Arts & Culture Education Service announced on the 15th that it has signed a business agreement with the Byeoksan Cultural Foundation to promote the social value of performing arts in general and to foster and discover Korean original plays.

At the business agreement ceremony on the 14th, both organizations agreed to cooperate in the mutual development of cultural projects in the theater field, including joint planning of theater awards, playwriting awards, and original play awards to discover Korean original scripts and nurture creators, as well as personnel exchange and promotion for the advancement of performing arts.

Previously, since May, both sides have been continuously discussing matters related to the joint planning of the Byeoksan Arts Award Playwriting Award-winning works. Through this agreement ceremony, they suggested the possibility of expanding cooperation to performance genres beyond theater in the future.

As the first program under this agreement, the 11th Byeoksan Arts Award Playwriting Award-winning work, "Sawol-ui Sawon" (The Temple of April) by playwright Bae Haeryul (directed by Lee Yeonju, performed by the theater company Jeonhwabel-i Ullinda), will be presented at the Daehangno Arts Theater Grand Theater from November 30 to December 11.

Kang Ryangwon, director of Arko Daehangno Arts Theater, said, "We will work closely with the Byeoksan Cultural Foundation, which contributes to the development of culture and arts through the Yoon Youngsun Theater Award and the Byeoksan Arts Award, to provide more direct support to field artists and creative groups."
