Contemporary Japanese dance, Traditional Japan, FabulationAbstract
Traditional arts of Japan, such as the tea ceremony, dances, theaters and engravings of the floating world (ukiyo-e) have always aroused great fascination, both among Japanese and foreign artists. However, the ways of dealing with tradition vary widely, from learning traditional techniques related to diverse languages (Fujima dance, engravings or the noh theater) until the use of specific creation methodologies and the embodiment of aesthetic principles and modes of perception (like the space-time interval ma, mitate and so on). This research discusses how these strategies have been triggering fabulations of traditional Japan through the reenactment of particular situations that not only look to the past, but throw questions for the future, by dialoguing with contemporary subjects related to gender questions, states of violence and vulnerability.
