Business Overview

In order to expand integrated dance activities, it is necessary to increase opportunities for people with disabilities to access art and to create places and programs where they can express themselves independently. Such activities lead to the discovery of dancers with disabilities and paving the way for professional activities. In addition, by providing an opportunity for some company members to learn workshop facilitation, multiple facilitators will be trained within the company, and a foundation will be created for expanding activities in the future. Therefore, in addition to the conventional open invitation workshops, delivery workshops will be held at special needs schools, facilities for the disabled, day centers, etc. In December, a simple showing will be held. The period is from September to December (twice a month) and the facilitators are Aki Kawashita, Sachiko Takenaka, Wolfgang Stange and Hibiki members.
