Business Overview
"Session House Young Dancer Support Project" is a new program with two pillars of "Session House Award Dance Flower" and "Dance Flower Advance". "Dance Flower Award" is a performance held as "Dance you want to see again" from Session House non-select theater 21 festival. 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 that gathers excellent young choreographers from the works participating in the Session House Dance Program. The first stage was held in September, and the "Dancer Conference" was held in collaboration with young researchers as a place for criticism and analysis. The play will be performed again in January as a second stage in order to improve the quality of the work. This is a new project that aims to step up the dancers and works to create contemporary dance that is accepted worldwide.
