Profile
【 Jun Kawasaki Music Poetry and Drama Project 】
Established in January 2016. Music poetry drama as a new possibility of performing art is created by combining elements such as song, body and voice. In 2015, the Theater X Music, Poetry and Dramatic Research Institute performed 2 works, "The Forsaken Children, The Stars" and "The End Always Ends Before It Ends" (Theater X Deusz Cantor 100 year anniversary project). In 2016, he collaborated with Berlin violinist Ayumi Paul. Led by director and composer Kawasaki, performers from various fields such as dancers, voice performers, singers, and musicians gather to explore the possibilities of expression through repeated dialogue in the workshop.
