Business Overview

A performance titled “See a Porous Stone ” was held by Takuya Takemoto in 5 cities in 3 countries including the US (New York), the UK (Lancaster, Manchester) and Germany (Düsseldorf, Hamburg). The production was tailored to the venue and collaborated with the illuminator Go Kokoma in Dusseldorf and the local musician Tam Thi Pham in Hamburg. In addition, workshops and talks by Takuya Takemoto and lectures by Yurika Kurimiya, the producer, were held in each city in an attempt to share Takuya Takemoto's unique methodology and the historical context of performance in Japan from multiple perspectives.
