Dancer Mirai Moriyama

I go to the exhibition which is customarily done at museums and galleries, and over the past few years I go to live stages, theater, concerts, stage performance of something like dancing.

The difference with art works is the realistic feeling. I think every time that it is really amazing to express with the body, and the charm of dance is its physicality and beauty. I fall in love with dancers’ discipline, sense and talent. Because there is no dialogue but they express by their own bodies and attract people.

I admire all the expressionists, and I love Mirai Moriyama in particular. He is famous as an actor but I think as a dancer is also awesome. It was the video installation at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo, that I knew dancer Mirai Moriyama. In the foreign dancer there was Mirai and he was dancing together while I was watching a very strange little cute contemporary dance video work. From that point I began to pay attention to him and has reached the present time, but I think that he is a very dexterous and talented person because he expresses completely different dances for each work.

And today is the performance called “Dansu” I saw the other day.
This performance is in the series, this time was the third. I have not seen the first and the second, so I did not know what it is like. The first impression that I finished watching was “a magical dance of a new experience”

The introduction text of the flyer is below.
*I translated it, I did it straight way so that the original one has rhymes in Japanese though.

In the first we traversed from north to south nationwide, and face Bolero with famous song in the second.
And This time… to the East or West? If you are troubled, forget East and West. Running or running away, even it is phony, noisy.
If you throw it away and it closes you will see it. Dialogue and body, use it and create it, emotional Yo-Yo play at the stage as you are.
It is not a dance but a fighting sport, beyond that is not theater。
Synergistic entanglement, muscular labor or meat balls, if it’s lucky beauty of the body!
It is Dansu! (maybe)

Even if I read this word, what is it, and the performance was like that.
“What is this” world began before the performance. Normally, announcement of precaution is made before performance and it is dry and tasteless but the “Dansu” performance was different from normal one, it was strange but made us smile.

It is difficult to convey the contents of this performance but I just say it made me entertain with expressions using the body, I also saw that beauty. Sometimes black Joke with occasional politics, and dance expressing a difficult theme such as “hobby and art”… Oh it is so difficult to explain in words…

The tree dancers’ dialogues are exquisite and time has passed quickly. It was a wonderful performance that I had a new experience.
I would like to continue to support Mirai Moriyama who is active in the domestic and overseas as an expressionist without setting boundaries such as theater and dance!
