Business Overview

In the world of classical performing arts, it is basic for a person in his or her 20 ~30 s to study for decades under his or her seniors and teachers, and then become a major performer or dancer for the first time, but it is a great opportunity to learn for future performing arts if each person takes on a major role while still in his or her 20 s, although they are still immature. This time, in addition to his classic works' Azuma Hakkei, '' Shima no Chitose, 'and' Renjishi, 'he has newly created a new work' Tsukushi '(lyrics by Tsukushi no Kai, music by Ryujuro IMADO, Sadasuke MOCHIZUKI). Based on the techniques and sensibilities of the classics that they have cultivated, they will exchange opinions among people of the same age and try to create a stage that can be enjoyed by audiences who see traditional performing arts for the first time. In the case of Nihon buyo, young dancers often perform with simple costumes and stage equipment for economic reasons, so in this performance, they gain experience by performing with formal stage art and costumes. Its main purposes are to popularize classical performing arts, to challenge the creation of new works, and to improve each art.

Profile

Tsukushi no Kai
It was established by five musicians and dancers of the same age who are studying at Tokyo University of the Arts in the hope that various people would know the genre of hogaku. We will perform works that will bring the splendor of classical performing arts such as nagauta, nagauta shamisen and Japanese dance to the people of today. They are trying to spread the word through workshops and holding independent performances. In the future, we plan to use various contents such as video works to reach a wide range of people.
