Since its opening in June 2020, DaBY has held the OpenLab “Dancers, Dance with Words” six times, in which dancers introduce their own experiences and creative activities through talks and demonstrations. OpenLab “Dancers, Dance with Music and Words” will start in FY2021. Through sessions by DaBY dance evangelist Kenta Komori and musicians, we will attempt to expand the relationship between music and dance by exchanging questions and opinions with each other in talks.

The first guest of the OpenLab “Dancers, Dancing with Music and Words” will be singer Miu Sakamoto. Ms. Sakamoto, who has been involved not only in music but also in writing, narration, theater, and various other expressive activities, will talk about her experiences with dance and the driving force behind expanding her activities while raising a family, while demonstrating her singing and dancing with Koyurugi.
