Japanese Contemporary Dance Today

A Talk by Akiko Tachiki

Interest in Japanese contemporary dance has boomed in the past few years
but it is not always easy for those outside Japan to grasp what is going on and
to know who is emerging as the next artist with international impact.

Akiko Tachiki, one of Japan's most active dance journalists and critics,
will lead this special event, identifying current trends in
Japanese contemporary dance and revealing what the future is likely to hold.

This event offers a rare opportunity to find out about the most recent
developments in Japanese contemporary dance, to view video of the work of current practitioners
and to take part in a discussion with one of Japan's most eminent dance experts.
