Japanese Dance & Culture Workshop
Discover Japanese culture through movement in this beginner-friendly workshop inspired by the principles and aesthetics of traditional Japanese dance.
Participants will explore the characteristic movements, gestures, postures and expressive qualities of traditional Japanese dance while discovering the cultural meanings behind them. Through movement, they will experience how Japanese dance reflects an appreciation of nature, grace in everyday gestures, and a unique sense of rhythm, space (ma) and human connection.
Il laboratorio inizierà con una breve introduzione alla danza giapponese, seguita dalla scoperta e dalla pratica di alcuni movimenti di base e di gesti espressivi. I partecipanti impareranno poi una breve coreografia ispirata ai principi del movimento tradizionale, accompagnata da musica strumentale contemporanea che integra strumenti tradizionali giapponesi.
No previous dance experience is required. The workshop is open to both children and adults and welcomes anyone interested in discovering Japanese culture through movement.
