【about "Dance in Asia" - Mikuni Yanaihara -】

 During my student days, I pursued studies in the United States and Europe, and learned much about Western theatrical art. Upon my return, I was eager to learn about theatrical arts in Asia, where my own roots lie, but there was still very little information on them then. Ballet, of course, was of Western origins, but Asia obviously had dancing of its own. There were surely many people in Asia, too, who were involved purely in dancing as a form of bodily expression. With this in mind, I made the acquaintance of numerous choreographers as well as dancers, actors, musicians, and artists in other Asian countries. I would like to broaden this network and promote cultural interchange that breeds new value in Asia. There are modes of artistic expression that can only be realized by Asia, Japan, and, indeed, myself. Instead of always looking toward distant subjects, let us begin with what is right in front of us! Lately in particular, I have come to believe we ought to consider bodily expression in this way.

ARTIST PROFIL

off-Nibroll(Yokohama)

The visual director Keisuke Takahashi and choreographer Mikuni Yanaihara from Nibroll formed off-Nibroll which mostly deals with the relationship between body and image, in 2005. We intend to isolate dance from theater, and remove the barrier between audience and performers. We fulfill this idea by using a small gallery spaces to maintain a close distance with the audiences, and, furthermore, to form their creation with the audiences‘s existence. By doing this, to bring the new body into their work becomes a challenge, but it also releases the form of dance to a bigger variety group of people.
