Kentaro!! at Attakkalari
In partnership with the Japan Foundation, Attakkalari was delighted to host Kentaro in Bangalore. Kentaro is one of the most promising young contemporary dancers in Japan.
He conducted an open workshop (Thursday, March 22nd) at Attakkalari and performed his piece After Raining, it will be Sunny on Saturday, March 24th at the Attakkalari Studios.
Born in 1980, Kentaro is one of the most promising young contemporary dancers in Japan. Deeply impressed by street dance culture as a child, he then discovered contemporary dance and its improvisational aspects. He started to work on pieces combining street dance techniques and dramatic elements of contemporary dance. His highly original and lyrical performances are created as either collective work with his colleague dancers or solo dance performances, reflecting human relationships or realities of young people living in modern Japanese society.
Kentaro's dance interpretation originates from hip-hop, fused with contemporary dance, and drama. Kentaro's expression has a very personal and sensitive tone, which resonates among the audience with his own story lines and self-composed music.
Kentaro has won many awards, which include the prestigious "The Young Choreographer's Award" sponsored by the French Embassy in Japan, at Yokohama Dance Collection R (2008), "The Nextage Special Prize" and "The Audience Prize" at the Toyota Choreography Award (2008), and "Dance Forum vol.4" (2009). Kentaro!! has performed extensively in Japan and abroad, including Germany, Poland, Indonesia, Korea. More information here
Spaces of Theatre, Spaces for Theatre
Jayachandran Palazhy, had been invited to a national seminar Spaces of Theatre, Spaces for Theatre organised by the India Theatre Forum. The seminar was organized in an effort to contextualise, historicise and problematise the processes and practices of theatre in India.
The seminar was held from 14 to 18 March 2012 in Ninasam – an extremely special theatre institute in rural Karnataka which has served as a community centre for over 50 years.
The seminar brought together about 150 theatre practitioners, scholars, critics, architects, designers, urban planners, social scientists and scientists over 5 days to consider the various dimensions of the spaces and processes of Indian theatre. Most of the participants were from India, but there was also an international component as well.
The seminar tried to address the overall theme of in a wider and holistic manner. Therefore the word ‘spaces’ here did not just mean the physical spaces involved in the act of theatre but various kinds of ‘spacialities’ involved in the processes of theatre practise. The seminar attempted to cover a gamut of related topics ranging from the relationship of performing ‘bodies’ to space, to the actual physical spaces of performance, to the politics of the spaces in society , to the new virtual spaces opening up and to the future of Spaces.
