JASMIM 8th annual conference

I have attended the 8th annual conference of JASMIM
 held at Kawasaki University of Medical Welfare in Okayama.
During the 
Yu Wakao's song writing workshop,
we improvisationally made a song about
Air Ambulance (This is the place where first
"Doctor Helicopter" system in Japan started.)

Stephen Nachmanovitch gave a lecture and
guided a wonderful workshop that all participants
were able to join by walking, singing, moving and being.

It was a peaceful and powerful meeting.
See you all next time!

Interview on Chunichi Shimbun

I am happy to announce that the Chunichi Shimbun published the article which I was interviewed on January 29, 2016. Sorry, it's only Japanese.



Reading this article, I feel like to share the program note which I wrote for my first dance piece performed in The Netherland in 2009. After that, I got married, 3.11 occurred, became a father.. well, I myself could not predict such a life. Life is interesting, isn’t it?
I would like to keep the priority in my life being ready for catching something interesting when it passes in front of me. Life should be experimental!
----
for [RAIN]
We cannot predict what will happen in our lives.
The things which we assume will happen, seldom occur.
And that which we least expect, frequently comes to pass.
How can I accept that which I cannot control?
I want to find a way of saying yes to these things, rather than denying them.
I'm still walking in the rain...
