ダンスって、一度キッカケがあって見始めると、見ざるを得ない魅力というか、魔力があるわね（笑）。高校時代は私もサブカルキッズの例外にもれず、寺山修二、唐十郎、渋澤龍彦を随分と読んでいたわ。だけどある時唐さんが私の地元・仙台でテント公演をやって、初めて観たときに、「靴は靴袋に入れる」とか「定番曲」とか、決まり事や説明が多すぎてガッカリしたの。自由に解釈することがあんまり出来ない気がして、もう演劇は観られないなぁって。結果、もっと抽象性の高いモダンダンスであったり暗黒舞踏であったり･･･、次第にそちらへ移行していったのね。 演劇は脚本を肉体で演じるものだと思うけど、ダンスの場合は肉体が何かを表すのではなく肉体表現そのものが重要でしょう？　背景にある何かを説明するためではなく、そのもの自身に価値がある点が、特殊なアートだと思うわ。ほかにも、絵画だったら「絵の具」「キャンバス」、建築だったら「建材」のような素材が必要だけど、ダンスは唯一の素材が「肉体」なんだから、普通の芸術とは違うわね。映像で同じ舞台を観ても意味がないというか、その場に居合わせないと感じ得ないことが多くて、当時はダンスや舞踏に夢中になったわね。

- Now if Vivian's, what do you look forward to the contemporary dance?

In fact, I may be referred to as do the drag queen is also, I feel like is tied somewhere as "contemporary dance" is to. Many of the drag queen is, and your makeup in the waiting room just before the event begins, and performance on stage, will return dropped the and makeup event is over? "At the beginning from here, here, at the end," in the sense that, I gonna have a place that plays somewhere. I there is a resistance to it. I have makeup at home, do not drop the never makeup to go home. Rather than "consisting Vivienne Sato from now", or meals while restaurant Vivian, or go to the convenience store, while or go to the bank, "at the beginning from here, here in the end," a theatrical space that , I want to obscure in their daily. Contemporary dance, or incorporating the everyday gesture, dare or wearing a realistic close, such as Uniqlo, the stage and the audience, I feel a little gap on the stage and everyday to. I wonder if after all the things that the "ongoing". It makes the hand is alive now, "modernity" that people are also living now you are watching is very important. I do not feel the artificiality is, how best of contemporary dance.

- "Dance Triennale Tokyo 2009", Vivienne's point of interest?

"Dance Triennale Tokyo 2009" is, once the dance festival in three years. The good thing about three years is being seen in one fell swoop, it's very profitable. Same period of, modernity, is interesting if there is a work of a variety of styles on the basis of a common condition that is alive now. Comparing, costume props, tables, even if using the day-to-day things such as refrigerator, it'll completely different is the sense of "time" that flows in each piece. Time that captures a moment of inspiration, time was floating in the air addicted to the reality of the tear, the eternal and the subsequent time .... The various perceptions of the time of density by dancers, continue to rapidly change, even in the works. By all means we want you to focus on there.
１ヶ月間に渡り、渋谷−青山がダンス一色に変わるので、いくつか作品を見比べて、様々な時間の流れを感じてみてはどうかしら？

"Please attention to Kecak of Steve Reich to repeat!"

Work Overview
Ginette-Laurent, Steve Reich and collaboration by percussionist based in Japan,. After the 1999 premiere, work that caused a buzz in the twinkling of an eye, the long-awaited landing in Japan.

Inspired by the Kecak music mogul Steve Reich of minimal music "DRUMMING", it that with a swing. Repeatedly in succession pattern of tiny rhythm and melody, style that goes by shifting the phase little by little. Simple wavelength of the sound is going to change infinitely as a whole as "moire effect" continue to influence each other. I want you to look at the space / time that is born from the sound and dance. Percussion, such as gamelan in how to play by many, playing the same rhythm and melody, will become like a gradually thick plant of the bunch. By sculptured group performance of flux and the dancers of the sound, flow out cosmic time. Musicians and performers have been separated by a very thin film, the amazing production of the contour of the space is going to blur!

"Suzuki streaks muscle of Yukio is worth looking at!"

Work Overview
Yukio Suzuki is the starting point of its own "dance" for the first time to confront head-on the "Tatsumi Hijikata", sharply realized the problem work the pursuit of the powerful body. This time, make bold restructuring, inspiring body is linked to the time that flows indifferently, creating a thrilling dance.

This strange problem is that of that as opposed to "from the fact that jealousy into the vein of the dog" book written by founder Tatsumi Hijikata of Butoh. By denying the Butoh was born to deny the western dance, Butoh came kept the existence meaning serving the ball. Suzuki's 30s and how to continue to deviate denied the ball, how to further departing on an affirmative came to the conclusion that if not the same. His trained carefully muscles and blood vessels, muscle is the beauty of the body itself to have the ball, oddities, it has out in light of the mystery. The human body there is a "artery" and "vein". Vascular going transmitted from the body to the heart as a "venous" blood vessel sent out from the heart to the "arterial". When the entire work that it is the human body, are also present "vein" is also "artery" in the work. And, willingness to confront the spell of the founder is, I like to be an adult all of the child passes through the mental parricide. It should be evolved as either mutation should inherit DNA, Butoh I always avant-garde.

"No, not like black swan, I feel the fear in the ne Are horse! Infantile!"

Work Overview
This work was of falsificationism philosopher of science Karl Popper the proposition "black swan" to the theme, social perspective boils down to "what constitutes a reality" has become a hot topic in the premiere Annecy. Music is newly written standard-bearer Christian Vogel of the United Kingdom of noise / techno scene.

オーストリアの哲学者カール・ポパーの反証主義の命題「黒鳥」から作られた作品。いままで英語圏では「スワンは白い鳥」と受け入れられていたが、オーストリアで黒いスワンが発見された。その事により最初の命題が覆された。反証例が出て来ることで、それらが反証されるか反証されないか事実認定の問題。起きた原因を後知恵解釈しかできない事象を"Black Swan"と名付けている。ポパーはフロイトなど精神分析には批判的だったようだけれども、この作品は思いっきり精神分析的な表現が表に出ているわ。馬の縫いぐるみや幼児的な行動は個々の特別な事例なのか、一般的なモノなのか、考えさせられるわ。歌舞伎町にも「黒鳥の湖」というショウパブがあるわ。その「黒鳥」のイメージは「白鳥」の中に居れば異物として映るけれど、現実のなかでその存在を認めることで、異物が劣等的なもしくはマイノリティーな存在ではなく、特別は唯一無二なものにもなり得るわ。もしくは沢山の白い白鳥もどれひとつ同じものはないと言う事にも気が付くかもしれない。
