At Dance New Air 2018, Saiko Kino will present both lecture-performances she premiered in Dance Archive Project 2016 & 2018, “Through the Life and Work of Kazuo Ohno, the PE Teacher” and “Dance as Nation-founding Calisthenics.” Exploring the relationship between dance and physical education in Japan where dance is taught as a part of physical education at school as well as considering the nation’s craze for physical exercise affected by Olympics, Kino’s lecture-performance makes us realize that our body can’t be unrelated to historical issues. Her lecture-performance is must-see for those who dance.
