Fantasy + Physical + Dance

About performance

regards the bodily potential that keeps moving based on the movement in dance, that is, the physical force of body, as the fantasy of dance. This is then connected to elements such as fantasy movies, animation, humor and extreme shape changes to present a range of images and bring out the imagination of body and dance. Instead of being a type of performance where you understand and interpret the meanings, it focuses on revealing the potential of body to share the imagination via body, by heightening the different physical motions and boundaries of energy created in and out of body.

Synopsis

merges the three elements: ‘fantasy,’ ‘physical’ and ‘dance.’ Regarding the bodily potential that keeps moving based on the physical force of body as the fantasy of dance, it aims to bring out the imagination of body and dance.

•Fantasy – Root of sensory realm and source of imagination

It reveals the bodily presence more strongly through everybody objects and facilitates a natural connection to body. Also, it makes the imagination of dance visible through a range of images based on body, such as bodily sound, cartoonish images, humor or extreme energy.

•Physical – Interaction of bodily mechanism and space

What takes focus is the functional aspect of body and the examples of physical force. The body keeps moving and going forward in its functional aspect –bending, straightening, turning, pushing, pulling or spiral movement- and its internal or external relations –texture and velocity, deconstruction and combination, spatial perception, action and reaction of gravity and energy, change of shapes or clash of energy.

•Dance – Coexistence of physical force and fantasy

If physical force deals with scientific, realistic and rational realms, we can say fantasy deals with bodily senses, imagination as well as non-real and instinctive realms. Those two are antinomic yet coexisting. Ultimately, is proposing another possibility of dance by more actively revealing these properties of dance.
