A co-production between Dance4
and DanceXchange, Birmingham.
Part of a long term collaboration that links the
mountains of Sioned’s native Wales with the
landscape of Aomori Japan, this performance
brings together a cast of ten dancers, musicians
and singers from across the globe alongside
local performers for the latest incarnation of
Aomori Project; a celebration of transformational
landscapes and architectural spaces.
Featuring Japanese Tsugaru teodori (hand
dance) with the traditional plucked string
instrument Tsugaru Shamisen alongside oldcustom minyo sining, the dance, sound and
songs of Tsugaru reflect the vigor of human
resilience between man and nature.
From vertical to horizontal; the body becomes
space and space is transformed into body; in
repetition, movement assumes the sensibility
of an internal landscape, reflecting the soul
of Aomori, the silent repetition of snowfall.
