Kisanuki Kuniko
Kisanuki Kuniko started to dance as a solo dancer in 1981. The
Tefu Tefu series (1982-1988) shaped her early style.
After 1984, she performed in the United States, Australia, Colombia,
Mexico, Germany and other countries and was favorably received
in each country. In recent years, she has danced duos and ensembles
as well, expanding the sphere of her activities. Off stage,
she is involved in exchanges with many people through her own
workshops and other activities. She is the representative of
the dancing group néo. Her major
works include Komuheritakina; Yes, No, Yes, No
(created jointly with Kasai Akira); and TOO BRIGHT TO SEE,
TOO DARK TO SEE. |

Nakamura Shinji
Nakamura Shinji studied under Honda Shigeharu and Sato Norie.
After graduating from the Mudra Center, an international training
school for performing arts in Belgium headed by Maurice Béjart,
he became a member of L'ensemble Ballet in Belgium. Upon returning
to Japan, he formed the Natural Dance Theatre. In addition to
giving performances on his own, he has appeared in numerous
works that transcend all categories, as well as modern, classical
and jazz dances. Nakamura was often asked to choreograph works
for public performances and competitions and has won many awards
for his choreography. In 1995, he received the Muramatsu Award
and the Contemporary Dance Association of Japan Best Dancer
Award. His work Alice, which was performed at the NNTT,
was first in the ranking of works by Japanese choreographers
in 1998, and he won the 2000 Eguchi Takaya Prize for Pinocchio.
Nakamura's major works include Alice, Pinocchio,
Hiruekanimodoko and Watashi ni Kisu Shite. |

Two
Days for Powerful Dance.
Two Days for Dramatic Dance.
Kisanuki Kuniko's appeal is her simple solo dance while Nakamura Shinji
excels in dramatic group work. Both are accomplished dancers who have
established their own style and have influenced dancing circles in
Japan. The two dancers, who were formerly featured and highly acclaimed
in the NNTT's Dance Planet series, will present their respective new
and larger-scale works for the forthcoming Dance Theatron No. 9. Kisanuki,
joined by members of the dancing group néo,
which she heads, creates a dancing universe that has a characteristic
feeling of transparency and is always one step ahead of the times,
while Nakamura dances freely to express images conjured up by human
beings that have fallen into the "hole" called Tokyo. These dancers
express exactly the true value of contemporary dance, which looks
at the present and leads towards the future. Through their bodily
expressions, Kisanuki and Nakamura send boundless messages about human
existence and dance. |
