Contemporary Dance Choreographers' Virtual Exchange between Japan and Taiwan - Video Diary

Contemporary Dance Choreographers' Virtual Exchange between Japan and Taiwan - Video Diary Series

Sept. 2020—Mar. 2021

In cooperation with Taipei Cultural Center in New York, the Society held a seven-month virtual artist exchange featuring Japanese butoh artists Kentaro Kujirai and Barabbas Okuyama and Taiwanese contemporary dance choreographers Hao Cheng and Wei-Chia Su. These four emerging choreographers, originally slated to perform in Japan Society’s biennial Contemporary Dance Festival: Japan + East Asia, have come together to explore new avenues of dance-making without sharing a physical space. Since September 2020, the choreographers and their respective dance company members met once a month virtually to conduct joint workshops. This video diary series of their exchange offers audiences an inside look into their monthly bilingual (Japanese and Mandarin) workshops in the hope that it may serve as a model for other organizations interested in facilitating their own international online exchange.
