Performing Arts Selection 2022
In the fall of 2022, selected dance works created by leading Japanese choreographers for the Corona Disaster will be performed in theaters nationwide.
The program will feature Yoko Ando, Hana Sakai, and Benefit Nakamura from ” Dance Genealogy, ” a program that focuses on the history of dance from the two perspectives of “inheritance” and “reconstruction,” and two works from “Suzuki Ryu Triple Bill,” a piece created to answer the question “Does my body belong to me? and two works from ” Suzuki Ryu Triple Bill, ” which was created as an answer to the question, “Is my body mine?
From the five works created at Dance Base Yokohama (DaBY) in 2020~21 and premiered at Aichi Arts Theatre, two to three works will be selected at each venue for a showcase-style tour.
