‘We’re Gonna Go Dancing!!’ is a lively festival which has been running every year since 2000. It was reborn in 2009 with a new emphasis on producing new work and reenergizing the performing arts across Japan. The festival contains four pieces. ‘House the Homeless’ directed by Kamiiketakuya and ‘MuDA G’ by the Kyoto based prize winning group ‘QUICK’ are both original collaborations by artists working together for the first time. QUICK’s prize winning shows involve an interdisciplinary use of dance, multimedia and martial arts and their latest piece is themed around nuclear fission, life, death and the universe. ‘Fragile World’, a piece about darkness in modern society, was created by bringing established choreographer Kakuya Ohashi to a local city to live and work with local artists. Selected by a panel of judges, the final, jazzy piece ‘I’m another you’, presented by a Fukuoka based group called ‘In Lake ch’ promises ‘one chair, one table and 16 limbs’. More information on the artists and the festival can be found on the festival website (Japanese).
