1st New Work Tryout & Actual Talk Exercise
Schedule] 8/30 (Sun) 16:00~16:45
Place】Dance Base Yokohama
Dance Base Yokohama (DaBY) has launched “DaBY Collective Dance Project,” a new project in which creators of different genres collaborate in a collective approach to creative activities. The first tryout of new works will be held at Dance Base Yokohama on Sunday, August 30, 2020.
The project will be directed and choreographed by DaBY associate choreographer Ryu Suzuki, and will include young musicians in their 20s and 30s, filmmakers, dramaturgs, dancers, production artists, and stage designers with backgrounds in architecture. By bringing together creators who are not bound by the conventional framework of dance, and through repeated discussions based on their own expertise and ideas, and through experimentation with multiple perspectives, the program will explore the state of creation by a new generation of artists living in this time of spreading new-type coronavirus infection.
The project, which began discussions more than six months ago and was fully launched in July 2020, will periodically present small works using various media such as video, sound, and photography under the theme of “gaps in perception,” calling the elements that emerge during creation “fragments”. By exhibiting “fragments” to the public, the process of creation will be made visible, and tryouts will be held to explore how these fragments can be constructed and the possibilities of further performing arts.
