A participatory workshop and performance will be held to view misplaced mountains. Misguided Mountain” means “misguided mountain. Preconceived notions of mountains, unintentional mountain dances, and ecosystems that are still invisible to humans accumulate to create mountain ranges of misplaced mountains.
How can we dance with non-human earth creatures? Based on Mapped’s exploration of connections with many different species, a contemporary dance workshop will be held at the ElArenero Yumita Garden in Tokamachi City’s Risetsu Chikasetsu General Center. Even those with no dance experience are welcome to participate.
This audio dance piece explores the human idealized landscape and the ecology that surrounds it, using Mount Cotopaxi in the Andes Mountains of South America and Mount Fuji in Japan as themes. Through the interplay of images, memories, and visual landscapes, we discover the dance of the palm tree and the movement of the cherry tree.
