北九州芸術劇場が企画する「地域のアートレパートリー創造事業(※1)」のダンスシリーズ第4弾となる「財ダンス」。(公財)北九州市芸術文化振興財団のオリジナルダンスである。キャストは財団職員で構成されおり、ほぼダンス未経験者である。

振付家・ダンサーの中村蓉自身が財団が関わる劇場やホールなどの各部署を視察し振付や歌詞を創作。振付や歌詞には各部署ならではのが盛り込まれており、リアルな職場の等身大の様子や、芸術文化を支える仕事のワクワクやドキドキ感も表現されている。(引用元:情報誌Q

映像は中村蓉さんの振付と歌詞、そしてMASSAN×BASHIRYさんの音楽(歌詞)からインスピレーションを得て映像の構成や構図、カメラワークなどをディレクションしました。

“Zai Dance” is the fourth installment in the dance series of the “Regional Art Repertoire Creation Project” (*1) organized by the Kitakyushu Performing Arts Center. This is an original dance by the Kitakyushu City Foundation for the Promotion of Arts and Culture. The cast is composed of foundation staff members, most of whom have little to no dance experience.

Choreographer and dancer Yō Nakamura personally visited each department of the theaters and halls associated with the foundation to create choreography and lyrics. The choreography and lyrics incorporate unique aspects of each department, vividly portraying the real-life workplace atmosphere and conveying the excitement and thrill of the work that supports arts and culture. 

The video was directed with inspiration from Yō Nakamura’s choreography and lyrics, as well as music (lyrics) by MASSAN×BASHIRY, shaping the composition, framing, and camera work.

*We have added Japanese lyrics using YouTube’s subtitle feature. You can also enjoy them in English by changing the settings.
