SYMPOSIUM
DANCE TRIENNALE TOKYO 2012 SYMPOSIUM
Why Do We Dance?
Dance has become a compulsory subject at middle schools since this year. In the educational scene, dance is expected to serve as a means not only to provide a full body workout, but also to cultivate one’s imagination to form images, enhance one’s powers of expression and enrich the ability to communicate. In this symposium, educationists, critics and artists are invited as panelists to reconsider the possibilities and roles of dance in contemporary society through divers perspectives such as dance and the body, dance and the human beings, dance and education, dance and the mode, dance and tradition, and dance and visual perception.

FORUM
DANCE TRIENNALE TOKYO 2012 FORUM
What Should be Thought of Dance in Asia?
Contemporary dance in Asia has been drawing worldwide attention. Body culture backed up by rich traditions and the complex process of modernization vary from region to region, and it seems impossible to grasp the whole picture. We are thus not able to expect what comes out from where, as it is the case with “Animal Pop” developed by Jecko Siompo (Indonesia), a participating artist in this festival this year. What do producers and curators working actively in different regions in Asia daily experience and what are their thoughts? It is a forum where dance in Asia will be discussed based on the personal experiences and points of view.
