The Green Table 2017
Kurt Jooss’s anti-war masterpiece “The Green Table” was created in 1932 when people felt the threat of the coming war. Whenever this piece was reproduced, Kurt Jooss himself supervised the choreography and after his death, his daughter took his role. Without those eyes which experienced the original piece and time, how could we inherit it and communicate it to the contemporary audience? Is it possible to inherit dance piece beyond time in the first place? “The Green Table 2017” is a research project to seek into such issues.

Modern Dance in the Theatre of War : Wheat and Soldiers
The pioneers of Japanese modern dance, Takaya Eguchi and Misako Miya performed Wheat and Soldiers at Tokyo’s Imperial Theater in October 1938. The historical context was the Sino-Japanese War. The following year, their dance troupe embarked upon a government sponsored overseas tour for Japanese forces, in which segments of Wheat and Soldiers were staged. The troupe participating in the tour to entertain the forces and the wounded comprised three men and seven women. Four consecutive tours took place until 1942. The few existing photos bear witness to large crowds; in the history of Japanese modern dance, this piece probably attracted the most spectators. It was, however, never performed after the war. How was this work created and perceived? Enveloped in mystery, it will over time disappear into the vast shadow of soldiers’ wartime memories. While impossible to faithfully reproduce, let us, however, listen to the fading whispers of a dance work that risks being silenced by the passage of time.

Dance Archive Project 2016
Dance Archive → Lecture × Performance
Launched in 2014, this is the third time we present the Dance Archive Project. At the outset, our focus was not just on creating new works inspired from various archive materials, but also on collecting documentation and memorabilia connected to the late Kazuo Ohno and Japanese dance history in recent times. Over the intervening years, we have continually worked with a variety of media forms, notably performance and in-situ exhibitions. For the upcoming Dance Archive Project, we will broaden our horizons, incorporating words and images in the form of lecture-performances, through which we will try to convey the archives deeper significance, and to interpret the archived documents by means of direct and vigorous debate with the audience. The true meaning in collecting dance archives materials resides not in the fact of only conserving them for future generations but rather the ability to transmit and constantly re-evaluate their contents from contemporary perspectives. The project's ambition is to render archive research visible in such a way as to accord it a new value, and to demonstrate its significance and usefulness.

Kazuo Ohno Festival 2015
Dance in Daily Life
Kazuo Ohno Dance Studio, Kazuo’s rehearsal studio, was built next to his house where he himself and his family lived. The fact that his space of living and dancing were next to each other should have deeply inspired Kazuo’s creation process. Kazuo often said “Daily life is your teacher.” It was not just a theory, but a practice for him. Since his first appearance in Europe in 1980, numerous workshop students from all over the world have come to the studio to practice Butoh while they stayed near the studio. They were often invited to his house next door to dine with his family. This has been the style of artist-in-residence at Kazuo Ohno Dance Studio with a wish to create new art from such a practice of living and dancing. In addition to dance performances and exhibition, this year’s Kazuo Ohno Festival starts artist-in-residence program. The process of creation will be open to the public and the fruits will be shown at the end of artists’ stay. We look forward to your company.

Dance Archive Project (DAP) 2015
The key functions of a dance archive are twofold: to collect and organize materials related to dance performance, and to ensure the establishment of a foundation stone for future performances. How a given performance employs choreography, costumes, music and space in a particular fashion provides insight as to what subsequent performances might resemble; the archives task is to re-assemble the work. It might be argued that given the dearth of physical traces of individual movements, there is an inseparable link between the archive materials and the performance itself; their very existence ensures an updated re-construction of the original performance. The Dance Archive Project 2015 deliberately sets out to further inter-connect these two spheres: dance archives and dance performance. By publically presenting archive materials in the form of a completed work, we believe that both the function and the potential of the archives will be brought into sharper relief.

Kazuo Ohno Festival 2013
Reprise: Physical Expression of the Zeitgeist
With the 2013 Kazuo Ohno Festival, we celebrate the tenth in a series that has constantly been with the prevailing wind in the dance world, both on a national and international level. With the theme of a 'physical expression of the zeitgeist,' Kazuo Ohno was the focus of the first festival back in 2004. Over time we have expanded the program and broadened our perspective. This year we once again continue to produce and present dancers and artists who have inherited and incorporate the spirit of Kazuo Ohno's work – a work that remains close to the spirit of the times we live in and yet timeless.
In the hall on the ground floor, three groups will be in residency during the festival, and will present the fruits of their work to the public. On the third floor visitors will have the opportunity to view the ever-increasing amount of contemporary dance videos and archive materials, including those in the cyber world, where all kinds of people upload all kinds of dance. As part of our international program, we have invited the Lyon based dance company from the Centre Chorégraphique National de Rillieux-la-Pape under the direction of Yuval Pick. Another outstanding feature of this year's festival will be the Kanze Hideo Day to pay homage to Kazuo Ohno's close friend and innovative Noh-player who left a huge mark on contemporary theatre. We see our festival as a bridge between past and future, a place where we treasure our deep heritage and foster those that carry that torch into the future. We look forward to your company.

Kazuo Ohno Festival 2012 is happening now.
With his 1960 performance Dance Experience, butoh's co-founder Tatsumi Hijikata embarked upon a series of innovative performances that was to astonish the Japanese dance world. This rich cultural heritage from the 60s is all the more relevant in these digital times as we continue to work in the vein of 'dance as physical experience.' From long experience we believe it possible to analytically observe the entire dance spectrum, while at the same time deepen our understanding of dance in the past - through the establishment of dance archives- while ensuring its prospects in the future - through better 'literacy'.
Dance is manifestly a physical expression of life: In so far as human beings are mortal, individual dances disappear with our demise. Nonetheless dance is a cultural heirloom that can be transmitted on both individual and generational levels. Our mortality need not entail its extinction but rather provides an impetus to pass on its seed to future generations. Seen from a cultural perspective, dance archives serve a vital structural role in collating as well as storing this shared tradition.
Dance has been omnipresent down through the ages; in all cultures and traditions throughout the continents. There are as many dance styles, as there are individuals. At times it has been prohibited in certain cultures, whereas in others it has been actively encouraged. Constantly transforming, dance has been a permanent feature in the history of mankind and an earmark of human evolution. In terms of improving dance literacy, we need to consider how to engage with dance-- in the broadest sense of the term- in the midst of our day-to-day lives.

Dance Archive
Dance Archives
Opening hours: Friday, September 7th until Sunday, October 7th, 2012. 11:30-19:00
Venue: BankART Studio NYK
For this exhibition, we have assembled a wide variety of items: audio-visual recordings in older formats; a wealth of abandoned documents relating to dance, not forgetting those materials that would have been deemed as rubbish if neglected. We are also actively searching out historical materials, documents and memorabilia that are in danger of being lost forever. During the festival, a conference on the challenges faced in establishing dance archives will take place along with a public research group on the theme of Tatsumi Hijikata's Last Words.
To date in Japan there has been scarcely any opportunity to either publish or exhibit archive documents given the dearth of organisational or strategical competence in collecting materials. We hope that the Kazuo Ohno Festival has gone some distance to fill this lacuna in dance history by its opening up of the Kazuo Ohno archives to the general public. We are currently collaborating with the Tatsumi Hijikata archives, as well as the Pina Bausch Foundation in Wuppertal with the ultimate objective of putting in place a comprehensive system of collating and archiving materials related to modern dance so as to safeguard its long-term interests.
Exhibit Kazuo Ohno, Tatsumi Hijikata, Baku Ishii, Choe Seung-hui, Tomiko Takai, Hideyuki Yano, Nobuo Ikemiya, Midori Ishii, Archive materials from Yokohama Dance Collection and others, photographs of Pina Baush, collection from Video Information Center, NIPAF and more.

Kazuo Ohno Festival 2011
The 2011 Kazuo Ohno Festival will take place in the Amphitheatre of the Shin Minatomura, the Small City for the Future complex.
This theatre embodies a blueprint for the theatre of the future. With walls made from Washi, a tough and fibrous Japanese paper, the indoor space isn’t isolated from the outer world: light, sound and what happens onstage filters gently outside. A theatre for the future is one, which endeavours to transmit a message to future generations. In considering what we could achieve in this space, we tentatively came up with the idea of a New Piece/Peace Project — this involves the participating artists reside in the theatre space for a determined period, during which they will create a site specific piece to be performed in situ, thus allowing the spectators to witness where the work came to life.
Duration: Friday, September 30th until Sunday, October 30th.

Since 1972, Japanese-born choreographer/dancers Eiko & Koma have created a unique and riveting theater of movement out of stillness, shape, light and sound. Eiko & Koma dance about what matters to them. Thier subjects are elemental; their message pitiless yet humanistic. Both their choreography and stagecraft are characterized by bold, highly theatrical strokes. The result is stark, infused with relentless stillness that subverts and transcends our everyday notions of time and space. Eiko & Koma want the vulnerability of their own dancing bodies to invite the audience's empathy.

Kazuo Ohno passed away on June 1st, 2010 at the age of 103. Worldwide his departure has been mourned. Ohno's impact remains enormous. Strangely, while many indeed did regard his passing with deep sadness,they were also imbued with deep sense of tranquility. With his death, he has not disappeared. His spirit pervades. Isn't the proof of this the way his vision of the world has touched many others not alone those in dance but transcended genre and geographical borders? Kazuo Ohno's unique perspective on life and dance is what he has handed on. The Kazuo Ohno Festival 2010 has for its mission the sharing of this vision.

Zuni Icosahedron "Tears of Barren Hill"
Tears of Barren Hill was awarded in the International Music Theater Competition earlier this year in Berlin, and has been toured to Singapore and Rotterdam after Hong Kong’s premiere in 2008. The performance features the best Kunqu Opera and Beijing Opera performers from Nanjing and Shanghai in a contemporary theater setting under Mr Yung’s artistic director and stage design.
The original Tears of Barren Hill is a traditional Beijing opera work created by Cheng Yanqiu and it was premiered in 1929. It tells a tragic tale of a woman in search for her husband, without knowing he already died. It comprises scenes of life and death and is a reflection of one’s despair under the political turmoil at that time.
Mr Yung starts off with Cheng’s rendition of an aria from Tears of Barren Hill in a church in Berlin, and crosses over to incorporate Cheng’s Western predecessors (Bach, Mozart and Verdi) as well as his contemporaries (Billie Holiday, Glenn Gould and Leni Riefenstahl).
