Project Summary
Unfortunately, the site-specific dance “A Physical Amusement Park in the City” choreographed by Kota Yamazaki at TRIAD DANCE DAYS, which was scheduled to be performed in May 2020, has been canceled due to the new coronavirus.
Mr. Yamazaki, the performers who had participated in “Physical Amusement Park in the City,” and DaBY decided to restart the project as a new project after a videoconference to discuss how it could be continued in the current situation, where even traditional activities were not possible.
The process of “Dance Teleportation,” a creation project that explores the nature of dance that transcends place and time, will be open to the public and the work will be presented on this special page.
