Dialogue Without Words
Exploring the Space In Between, between sound and silence, between stillness and movement, between emptiness and fullness this performance will make and give space as the 2 performers listen and react to each other using their bodies and live drawing only lwhile being accompanied and communicated with by the amazing Sho sounds.
喧騒と静寂、静と動、空虚と充実、それらの間にあるものを探ります。
2人のパフォーマーが互いに耳を傾けたり、反応したり、音によって増殖されたり、身体のイメージを描いたり…その先には何があるのでしょうか。
Joanna Rosenfeld is delighted to bring her art practice and this piece to Japan for the second performance in the series. Joanna, born and raised in Germany is an award winning (outstanding theatre award Brighton 2018, audience choice award Rialto Theatre 2021) British performance and theatre artist, with a movement practice based in CI, Butoh and physical theatre. In Japan she has performed with Conan Amok in Luminous Ashes at Dance Base Yokohama and Con Ton Ton Vivo in Tokyo, at Yuko Kawamoto’s Butoh Camp at the Saruhashi Studio and at Noutan Arts Space with Azu Minami.
ジョアンナ・ローゼンフェルドは、自身のアート活動とこの作品を日本で紹介できることを大変喜んでいます。ドイツで生まれ育ったジョアンナは、英国拠点のパフォーマーおよび演劇アーティストであり、数々の賞を受賞しています(2018年ブライトン優秀演劇賞、2021年リアルト劇場観客賞)。彼女は、コンタクト・インプロヴィゼーション、舞踏、フィジカル・シアターの経験に基づけられた表現をします。
日本では、横浜のダンスベースで行われた「ルミナスアッシュズ」で阿目虎南と共演し、東京では「コン・トン・トン・ヴィヴォ」に参加しました。また、猿橋スタジオでの川本裕子の舞踏キャンプや、濃淡の間での南阿豆との共演でもその才能を披露しました。
Tetsuro(てつろう)
enjoys the art of "Hureasobi," playing and improvising through contact improv. As a performer engaging in a state of "Su" (naturalness), he is mainly seen in improvisational live performances in western Tokyo.
Onstage, Tetsuro follows the flow of "Suki" (the energy felt in a natural state) and responds to himself, his co-performers, the audience, and the entire venue.
触れ合いで即興的に遊ぶ「ふれあそび」を楽しむ「ふれあそびと」。ありのままでいる一人ふれあそび「素(す)」を行う「素人(すのひと)」として、東京多摩地域を中心に即興ライブに出演している。
即興ステージでは、素になったときに感じる素気の流れに従うことから始めて、素気を介して、自分自身や共演者、観客、会場も含めてその場全体とふれあそぶことを楽しんでいる。
Ayako Kawakami
is a Japanese artist known for her mastery of the sho, a traditional Japanese instrument. Born in Japan, Kawakami is studying in Tokyo University of the Arts to hone her skills on the sho. With dedication and talent, she quickly rose to prominence in the world of traditional Japanese music performing at New National Theatre Tokyo, Conservatoire national supérieur de musique de Paris, and lots TV shows.
Beyond her solo career, Kawakami has collaborated with a diverse range of musicians, crossing genres and cultural boundaries to create innovative and captivating music. Her collaborations have brought the rich sound of the sho to new audiences and expanded the instrument's reach in contemporary music.
In 2022, she was selected by Forbes Japan as one of the "30 people under 30 years old who will change the world".

ワークショップ
[その間の空間 space between ]
~ ダンサーと身体表現を追求する全ての方へ ~
自己表現の裾野を拡げる変革の旅へようこそ。
このユニークなワークショップでは、今秋日本と台湾でのジョアンナの研究から得た洞察を取り入れた新たに構築されたメソッドを体験することができます。
■ 聴く力を発見する
この没入型ワークショップでは、繊細さと敏感さを育み、注意深い傾聴を通じて他者との深いつながりを探ります。
二人の間にリーダーがいないとき、何が起こるのでしょうか?
コントロールを手放し、衝動に従う時に、どのような表現が生まれるのでしょうか?
コントロールから信頼への深い変化を共に探ります。
ジョアンナは、恐れという感情に向き合う舞踏のトレーニングから洞察を得て、参加者の皆さんに、自由に表現するために恐れを手放すことを促します。
ペアやグループでの作業を通じて、お互いを見守りながら、誠実に応答し、身体的、感情的、精神的な感覚から踊ることを学びます。
生まれるすべての表現を歓迎し、受け入れます。
恐れから自由になったとき、私は誰なのか?
それはダンスを通じた自己発見と相互作用の旅です。私たちは新しい動き、感じ方、存在の方法に心を開きます。
舞踏とコンタクト即興の融合。
ジャンルの境界を超えて多様なダンサーに開かれています。

Liberate Your Dancer at "The Space In Between" Workshop!
Calling all dancers and movement enthusiasts! Are you ready to embark on a transformative journey that will widen your connection to dance and self-expression? Join me for a unique workshop experience based on the insights from my recent research in Japan and Taiwan.
Discover the Power of Listening
In this immersive workshop, we'll explore connection by cultivating deep listening. What if there was no leader? How do you show up when you release control and trust your impulses? Together, we'll navigate the profound shift from control to trust.
Dive into my world of Dance Exploration
Drawing from my "Dialogue without Words" performance series (Next Performance: November 24th with Tetsuro at Noutan Arts Space, Tokyo) and my Butoh training, I invite you to let go of fear and embrace fearless expression. Through pair and group work, and witnessing, you'll learn to respond to and dance from sensation—physical, emotional, and even spiritual. Everything is welcome.
Who Are We When We Are Fearless?
This is more than a dance class; it's a journey of self-discovery and connection. Open yourself to a new way of moving, sensing, and being.
17th November, 18.00-20.00 class, followed by a jam 20.00-21.30.
Doors open at 17.50. Please be on time.
Secure your spot in this transformative workshop and join a community of dancers eager to explore "The Space In Between."
For sign up, please send me an email.

Butoh inspired CI class 17th November 2024 Nakano Tokyo
Butoh and CI Lab
Last year I started to experiment combining Butoh with Contact Improvisation.
I think there is something interesting in this combination, what emerges, what is evoked, what is felt and experienced and seen. So I started to rent a studio once a month to explore and play.
Please join me.
What to expect:
The first hour some somatic work
2 hours investigating the methodologies of Butoh and CI
2 hours for structured improvised form
We will work collaboratively.
The lab is for performers with either Butoh/ CI or experience in both to put the methodologies together.
