Natsuko Tezuka's Dojo-yaburi - project and performance
Natsuko Tezuka's Dojo-yaburi is formed by a series of workshops with a select group of choreographers and dancers including Mari Fukutome, Ave-M-Aria, Mikako Arita, Corrie Befort and Yuki Enomoto and musician Kuri Suzuki. These seven very different artists discuss the dojo, which within this project most closely resembles 'method', that they use when working improvisationally. They then attempt to work within each other's dojo, finally improvising using a combination of their own and the adopted methods. Performances of this work arise after each workshop and are fascinating to watch.
