Hot Summer in Kyoto Document/Action
Documentation staff are wanted!!
“Hot Summer Document/Action” tries to record this Festival, a venue for dialogue on dances, from the viewpoints of dancers and non-dancers. What do people expect in dances? What kind of dance do they meet and where? What do they receive from dances? Starting from interviews with the instructors and participants, “Hot Summer Document/Action” will search for words and styles to depict the basics needed for an encounter with the world, events happening with the body as a media, and new venues for interrelations.

Period: April to May 2015

They are all on a volunteer basis.
