On Tuesday, 25 June 2019, we held the 20th Creative Café on the 3rd floor of Yamagata Manabikan.
The theme was “Experience Contemporary Dance, Boost Creativity!“.
It is a combination workshop to experience contemporary dance, discover Yamagata’s future hub “Yamagata Manabikan”, and make dance films to express “Colors of Yamagata” using the drone movie of Yamagata. Contemporary dance is a style of expressive dance that is not strained to specific dance genres. The facilitator, Ms. KATO Yumi, says, “anyone can be a contemporary dancer, showing their creativity and their minds through physical moves.”
Yamagata City has been planning to renovate “Yamagata Manabikan” as a hub for the Yamagata City of Film. It is a collaborative event of our new center and the Creative Café. The 3rd floor is usually not opened for the public, so it is a special occasion for the citizens to enter the unique place of the Yamagata Manabikan.
