The concept of the project “About Dances in Shin-Nagata” is to “meet people who dance in Shin-Nagata.” It is a long-term project that was launched in April 2009. Based on studio visits and interviews and involving a number of events, it goes back and forth between research and practice. 2013 was the fifth year of the project, in which a director, choreographer and fine artist started to create new performances through meetings with “dancing people in Shin-Nagata.” Among these activities, this program features the attempt with Jun Tsutsui to present the process of “About Dances in Shin-Nagata” and various affairs related to “dance.”
