Koichiro Tamura “How do you do choreography? Workshop
How do you choreograph? Workshop
This is a comprehensive workshop for creators using the expressive method of “choreography. One of the skills necessary for a choreographer is to enrich the body language. Unlike the mainstream choreographic technique in dance, in which one pushes one’s own body to the limit and offers polished physical expression to others, this workshop will help participants think about how they can transform their own material assets into unique physical expression. This is a workshop to think about this together. Koichiro Tamura, a choreographer active in Japan and abroad, will assist you in your creation. The workshop does not end at the end of the workshop, but rather, he will give you advice on how to realize the limitless image you have created on stage in the near future.
