Ikuya Sakurai
This work, solo dancer Ikuya Sakurai's third since resuming activities following the COVID-19 self-restraint, titled "Heart Low" (*the minimum measurement of the heart), suggests two coined words, hinting at an ambitious work that overlays imagination and deep psychology surrounding the organ central to life activities, the "heart". Through this work, Sakurai, who has been reconsidering dance itself while experiencing changes in contemporary society and life, approaches creation with a new bodily sensation unlike before, contemplating the "reality of life" intuitively. His previous work unfolded a dramatic dance reflecting profound historical pain and crisis underlying modern times. In contrast, this new work emerges from reflections and trials accumulated while experiencing various suppressions arising from the COVID-19 pandemic and the current changes in post-pandemic life. It embodies the concrete manifestation of "dance impulses" that are more intuitive and physical, aiming to awaken a sense of vitality in the space of dance. Rehearsals are progressing towards realizing a space of dance that stirs the senses, utilizing his distinctive methods to meticulously extract infinite expressions of the body and craft a profound artistic world.
