As well as being a traditional Javanese dancer, I have been involved in dance projects which are concerned with the concept such as ‘collaboration’ and‘improvisation’ and ‘communication’. My recent practice includes;‘I-Picnic’, the improvisation group which aims to offer dancer to be sensitive towards his or her own surrounding and to communicate with whatever emerging from it;‘Osaka Picnic Project’ (Semba Art Café) which encourages participant to use his or her physical sensation and feeling to understand the city of Osaka;‘Body Talk’, the clinical philosophy project initiated by Osaka University CSCD: Center for the Study of Communication-Design which explores the relationship between language and what one’s body feels; the creation of a new kind of dance between dance and people with disabilities(Tanpopo-no-ye; ‘SANZUI, the project which challenges the boundary between music and dance.
