Online Discussion: Japan X Taiwan: Choreographers Respond to COVID-19
Company: Japan Society, in cooperation with Taipei Cultural Center in New York
Venue: Online at Japan Society
Location: New York , NY
Japan Society, in cooperation with Taipei Cultural Center in New York, presents an online roundtable discussion between rising Japanese butoh artists Kentaro Kujirai and Barabbas Okuyama and Taiwanese contemporary dance choreographers Hao Cheng and Wei-Chia Su as the culmination of a seven-month Contemporary Dance Choreographers’ Virtual Exchange between Japan and Taiwan. These four emerging choreographers, originally slated to perform in Japan Society’s biennial Contemporary Dance Festival: Japan + East Asia, which was necessarily canceled for Winter 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, have come together via this virtual artist exchange to explore new avenues of dance-making without sharing a physical space. Program runs approximately 40 minutes, with English subtitles.
