Shifting Concepts: From Poem to Body, Secret Journey '18

The investigation process of transformation from intellectual concepts to physical movements will be an exercise for both the brain and the body. During the 14 days, the participants worked with Ms. Chuma, in a combination of demonstration and participatory exercises. Chuma also presented action exercises with props. We used our own movements, words, images and experiences to create movement. “Dance is a monologue, flowing resistance activity using dance to deliver a delicate and powerful message. Poets will speak a kind of monologue composed of abstract dance movements. Dance is poem. The two weeks of the process and rehearsal will end with world premier presentation . There will be surprise the guest and the inspiration appearances every day.” Yoshiko Chuma and The School of Hard Knocks has been one of the world’s leading laboratories for the investigation of dance and movement- based forms. http://www.rimayamazaki.com/project/yoshiko-chuma/
