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 while exchanging mutual questions and opinions through talks.

The first guest of OpenLab “Dancers, Dancing with Music and Words” will be singer Miu Sakamoto. Ms. Sakamoto, who has not only been active 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 child, while demonstrating her singing and dancing with Koyoru.
