Business Overview
In recent years, Seki Kaori has considered it important for dancers to move using their own five senses (including skin sensations) and to stimulate the audience's five senses so that they can see the work using their entire bodies. She has sought to create a space structure and time direction that narrows the physical and mental distance between performers and audiences. In this work, we will continue with our work with a view to performing in a larger theater space, which was one of our tasks for 2014, as well as the exploration of the individual body that we have been working on up until now, the exploration of what we can do with our sensory approach to others through our work, and the exploration of what is transmitted not only through sight but also through the sense of touch (smell and touch). Humans, animals and plants have many things that their bodies already know, even if they have not experienced them themselves. In addition to "nostalgia" in the sense of recalling specific events and "feelings drawn from them," the aim is to explore choreography that stirs the audience's "senses," such as feeling like crying, longing for others, and feeling threatened.
