Business Overview
The "Session House Young Dancers Support Project" is a program started in 2012 with the two pillars of "Session House Award Dance Flower" and "Dance Flower Advance." "Dance Flower Award" is a performance selected as "dance works you want to see again" from the non-select performance plan "Theater 21 Festival" of Session House. Performances are held 2 times a year (10 works), and the best works of the year are selected and the best session award is given. "Dance Flower Advance" is a performance held by outstanding young choreographers from among works participating in the Session House dance program. The first stage was held in September, and the "Dancer Conference" was held jointly with young researchers as a place for criticism and analysis. The play will be performed again in February as a second stage in order to improve the quality of the work. This project aims to further improve the dancers and their works, and create contemporary dance that is accepted worldwide.
