As part of the TRIAD DANCE PROJECT “Dance Genealogy Studies” program, a tryout performance by Yoko Ando is scheduled for September 2021. This time, Ms. Ando, a choreographer who is working on a new creation at DaBY for the tryout, and three young dancers, Nozomi Kinouchi and Yasuyu Yamaguchi, who were selected through auditions, will be invited as guests for a talk and demonstration about the rehearsal process that continues at the Corona Hazama. The event will be held in conjunction with the presentation of the new work. They will also talk about “Study #3” choreographed by William Forsythe, which will be performed in conjunction with the presentation of the new work.

What is TRIAD INTERMISSION?

TRIAD DANCE PROJECT “Genealogy of Dance” was one of the programs of “TRIAD DANCE DAYS” scheduled to be held in conjunction with the opening of the dance house Dance Base Yokohama (DaBY) in May 2020. The event was to explore academic dance choreography in two parts: “Origin,” in which each dancer dances an original work by a master choreographer, and “Inheritance/Reconstruction,” in which each dancer attempts to create a new piece. However, due to the spread of the new coronavirus, all programs were cancelled, and further creation is underway, seeking creative methods that are possible even with the coronavirus disaster.
The purpose of this exhibition is to provide an opportunity for visitors to learn about the background of the creative process and the artists’ new approaches to the Corona Disaster by actively disclosing the creative process as an “INTERMISSION.
