Movement


   - Workshop three
2024.9.1 & 9.18




The theme of the third workshop was “Movement,” during which children sharpened their senses while experiencing the rich nature of the island.

Ikuyo Yamamoto, representative of Little Wing, which is active in theater, musicals, and dance in Takamatsu City and Shodoshima Island, Kagawa Prefecture, served as instructor, while her assistant Kanon Kawamura and the children of Shodoshima created improvisational dances by directly touching the island soil with their hands and feet. Participants not only touched the soil directly with their hands, but also closed their eyes and listened carefully to the sound of the wind blowing from the sea and the leaves on the trees, lay down on the grassy plaza, or hugged trees and felt the colors of the plants and the smell of insects with various organs in their bodies. By discussing and deepening their tactile sensations with each other, the participants developed an image of the island's landscape as it changes with place and time.





第3回のワークショップでは「触る(Movement)」をテーマに、子ども達を対象として、島の豊かな自然に触れながら五感を研ぎ澄ますワークショップを行った。

香川県高松市や小豆島で演劇やミュージカル、ダンスを中心に活動するリトルウイング代表の山本育代さんを講師に、アシスタントの河村かのんさんと小豆島の子ども達が手足で直接島の土に触れながら即興的なダンスをつくった。参加者は手で直接触るだけでなく、目を閉じて海から吹く風や木の葉の音に耳を澄ませたり、芝生の広場に寝転がったり、樹木に抱きついて草木の色あいや虫たちの匂いを体中のさまざまな器官で感じた。自分が感じ取った触感をお互いに話し合い、深めることによって場所と時間とともに変化する島の風景にイメージを膨らませた。
