Performance: “Weaving Time”

A group of students from the Department of Theater in the College of Arts at Nihon University will present a performance that explores the nature of “individuality”—a quality shaped by the chance encounters and relationships woven by human beings. Focusing on the relationship between self-formation and dance expression, the performance illustrates how people change through their experiences and how those emotions and sensations are transformed into physical expression.Using the fluctuations of human emotion and the perception of the passage of time as clues, the performance traces the memories and sensibilities etched into each performer’s body, depicting through dance the process by which an individual’s existence is woven together through interactions with others.

[Date and Time] August 15 (Sat) and 16 (Sun), 3:00–3:20 p.m. and 4:00–4:20 p.m. each day

Facility Information

NUNAGAWA Campus

Nunagawa Elementary School, which closed in March 2014, has been reborn as a school where students can learn about the value of their local community through hands-on experiences.With agriculture as its foundation, the school provides a space to help each child discover their unique strengths through food, daily life, play, and dance. It also serves as the “Children’s Five Senses Art Museum,” offering art experiences that engage the whole body—beyond just “seeing”—and is the home ground for “FC Echigo-Tsumari,” an agricultural corporate team where female soccer players from the city have relocated to become stewards of the Rice Fields and continue playing soccer while farming.
