Kouhei Fujimura (FY2024 Artist in Residence), who will be creating his new work “Nooooclip” from the end of January, will hold a special workshop. After the workshop, there will be time for discussion. We hope this will be a time to freely share not only the content of the workshop, but also topics related to the current performing arts scene and the issues and interests that each participant has.

◆Outline

In this workshop, we will explore the structure of intuitive movement driven by all kinds of information from our own bodies, such as form, feeling, landscape, and texture.
Specifically, the workshop will begin with drawing – the process of drawing lines on a flat surface – in order to accept the meaninglessness of the de-representational output from the body. Then, we will move to the phase where movement is generated from the medium of the body through the process of “gradually drawing lines with a pen”.
