7月、毎年恒例の4週間合宿じねん舞踏ワークショップをイタリア、トスカーナ地方にある

ポンタデラにて行った。前半には一週間森の中にてキャンプインして自然の中でワークを行った。

森の色、肌に感じる質感、大地、風の匂い、光、木の肌、昆虫や生命の声、呼吸。。。

July, 4weeks summer residency JINEN Butoh workshop in Pontedera in Italy. On the 2nd week,
we made workshop in the forest with camping all together. The color in nature, the texture of the
leaf, the earth, the tree, voice of insect, wind smell, sun light, felt deep sensation into body.     

毎週末には様々な場所にてソロやデュオなどの即興公演。Vicopisanoプレトリアン宮殿。中世時代の刑務所。Montefoscoliミネルバメディア神殿。そして4週間の最終日には、スタジオ内でソロ発表の後、ポンタデラ市内を舞踏行列し公園や広場やマーケットスクエアにて踊り、夜は駅前のスクエアでグループインプロビゼーション。とにかく踊る踊る踊る4週間だった。
Each weekend was the time of performance and presentation of each solo or duo at various site
specific location. In Vicopisano, at the parace and middle age prison building. In Montefoscoli,
temple of Minerva Medica. On the last day of 4weeks, after solo presentation in studio of
SpazioNU, we made Butoh procession through the city, moved place to place, park, market square,
fountain, and ended with group improvisation at station square in the night.
Fully we danced danced danced in this 4weeks.
