Dance Bridge in 2023

Mademoiselle Cinema was formed in 1993 at Kagurazaka Session House. Influenced by Pina Bausch, Rosas, and others, women who aspired to contemporary dance gathered at the time and moved from "learning" to "creating and showing" dance. As "traveling dance," we have been sharing the joy of dance with people of all ages through performances and workshops in Japan and abroad. And many repertory pieces were created during those travels.
30 years since its formation.
Once again, it is a day of [departure] to dance with those who have been involved in dance and to search for the landscape of dance in the future. 4 of the works, including the newest, are junction = [bridges] on this travel.
