On Sunday, August 1, OpenLab “Dance Workshop for Parents and Children” will be held for children from 0 years old to early elementary school age and their parents.
In this workshop, Teita Iwabuchi (DaBY choreographer in residence), who has studied theater, Japanese dance, and Butoh, will offer unique programs such as “Talking with String” and “Playing with Clay with Body” to play with the body.
We hope that the participants of this workshop will be able to experience the fascination of dance by experiencing the bodies of professional dance artists up close and personal.

Comment from Teita Iwabuchi

To dance is to listen to the voice of the body, not words. Every day, the body makes many voices and listens to many voices.
In the parent-child workshop, we hope to provide a time for dialogue not through words but through the voice of the body through body play.
