American tour of dance works choreographed by Umeda Hiroaki.
The solo work "assimilating" performed by Umeda and the group work "Moving State 1" performed by 4 dancers of Somatic Field Project toured 5 cities in America.
In the tour destinations, I had the opportunity to interact with the local people from various angles, not only through the performance, but also through workshops on the Dotai Method, a movement method developed by Umeda, talks after the performance, and talks at a university class on Japanese culture.
