[ NIHON BUNKA KENKYUU ] BUNKEN 101: Reviews, comments, and insights on Japanese pop culture.
The Japan Foundation, Manila and the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) present exciting contemporary dance performances by Japanese and Filipino dance artists in “We’re Gonna Go Dancing!!”, at the CCP Tanghalang Huseng Batute (Studio Theater) on August 24 & 25, 8:00 PM.
“We’re Gonna Go Dancing!!” is a project launched by the Japanese non-profit dance organization, the Japan Contemporary Dance Network (JCDN), to form new cultural exchanges with artists, organizers and the general public through contemporary dance. While this project started locally in Japan, it has now expanded to connect with other dance artists in Asia. This year, with the support of the Agency for Cultural Affairs Government of Japan Fiscal Year 2007, “We’re Gonna Go Dancing!!” tours five cities in four Asian countries: Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), Bangkok (Thailand), Solo and Jakarta (Indonesia) and Manila (Philippines).
Participating dance artists/groups from Japan -- Ko &Edge Co., Ho Ho-Do, Pink and Hiroyuki Miura -- display the broad spectrum of Japanese dance expressions from butoh to modern to pop. Sharing the stage with the Japanese artists is new and emerging Filipino dancer-choreographer Ava Maureen Villanueva, recipient of the first WiFi-JF-CCP NexTage Choreography Award.
