Since 2018, Noism Company Niigata has been holding the “Body Workshop” for the Deaf and the Blind.
By touching the bodies of professional dancers and moving together with music, it is a valuable opportunity not only for people with disabilities but also for dancers themselves to feel and enjoy a new world with each other.
The workshop begins with disabled persons and dancers putting their hands together one-on-one. We will proceed in a way that is easy for first-timers to participate, so please feel free to join us.
We look forward to seeing you all at RYUTOPIA.
