Comments from Artists

The performance work [processing in tune] created by Akikai Nita in February 2023 examined whether physical outputs such as gestures, sign language, and facial expressions can be useful communication tools. The theme of the work was to find performativity in the earlier (pure) movement, not in socially designed gestures.

In order to approach the subject of communication from the three points of body, things, and words, we invited Yosuke Meguro, a juggler, and Hiroki Yamamoto, a novelist, as partners to think about communication together.

The theme is “to lean and lean to understand the other person,” and I think that when the body, not the head, continues to think and adjust (tuning), as in martial arts, instead of being passive in communication, the body will continue to think and adjust (tuning), and this will become communication as it is. I believe that the swaying of the body can become a new kind of dance.
