PROGRAM : YOKOHAMA DANCE COLLECTION EX

TALK "DANCE no MIKATA"

The theme is the three keys to dance: how to watch it, how to savor it, and the three sets of people involved—the choreographer, the performer, and the audience—plus how to understand and absorb it. This talk will inspire participants to feel a closer connection to dance and to view it in new ways. With a rich variety of guest speakers and a skilled moderator, this talk will be enjoyed by people with no dance experience, choreographers constantly engaged with dance, dancers, theater people, and researchers.
