Business Overview
is a research project by actor Asahi Ishikawa and choreographer Saori Hara. This year's project started with the aim of systematizing the improvisational, meaningless, and purposeless conversational performance work "Sirimetsu" that the two have been working on, as a method, and presenting the results. With the addition of Hiroki Yamamoto as a co-researcher, various feedback and trials were provided through research and workshops, and the expression of “Shirimetsu ” was further expanded.
In the Mitaka SCOOL show, we performed with two new performers, presenting the words and bodies of four performers who address questions such as the methodology of improvisation, the relationship between speech and body, and "performing" improvising bodies.

【 Ishikawa Asahi ≠ Harasaori 】
With dance, theater and design as a background, a duo performance series aiming to develop a unique body language was launched in 2024. We are jointly exploring "meaning" and "meaninglessness" in communication.
