Attune brings together artists from Japan and The United States: featuring Heidi S. Durning, Daya Tomiko, Kumiko Nonaka, Kyoko Fujimoto, Stacey Yvonne Claytor, and Malcolm Shute. The event begins with a 3-hour workshop in contact improvisation for adults from 10am-1pm, and culminates in a live dance performance from 2-4pm. Those who attend the improvisation workshop are invited to perform at 2pm. Attune takes place on Sunday June 23, 2024, at the Shinpukuji Temple in Kameoka City 真福寺 亀岡市, Shimokubo-1 Sogabecho Nishijo, Kameoka, Kyoto 621-0028.

Attuneは日本とアメリカのアーティストが集う毎年恒例となったイベントです。 今年はテーマを「地球」として、そこに繋がる作品を各振付家が作成し、公演プログラムを組みました。 マルコム·シュート振付の『Emerging 』（新たな出現）は大地から芽吹き太陽へ向かって伸びる茎が絡まり合う様を四人のコンテンポラリーダンサーが表現します。ハイディ·S·ダーニングはセネカの言葉Neesaから発想し、夜の月の輝きが夢へと降り注ぐ風情を伝統的な日本舞踊とコンテンポラリーダンスを融合させて踊ります。藤本恭子振付の『Otoasobi』は七拍子のリズムに合わせ、『飛車』は将棋の世界をコンテンポラリーダンスで描きます。田谷富子はインド舞踊バラタナーティヤムとコンテンポラリーダンスのフュージョン作品を、ステイシー·イヴォンヌ·クレイターは胎児喪失による悲しみの波をダンスを通じて表現します。能笛の名手、野中久美子氏が舞踊の伴奏をします。

Attune is becoming an annual tradition, bringing together artists from Japan and the United States. The dances in this year’s performance will be linked by the theme of Earth. Emerging, a contemporary dance quartet by Malcolm Shute, depicts the emergence of new growth from the soil, stalks tangling together as they reach for the sun. Fusing traditional Japanese dance with contemporary dance, Heidi S Durning presents a solo inspired by Neesa, a Seneca word for the night moon shining downward into dreams. Kyoko Fujimoto presents a study of rhythm, Otoasobi, blending sounds and steps, and Hisha, a Japanese board game match. Daya Tomiko presents a fusion of Bharata Natyam and contemporary dance. Stacey Yvonne Claytor Claytor Company wades through the waters of sadness in a dance about the painful loss of an unborn child. Kumiko Nonaka, master of the Noh flute, will accompany some of the pieces. Attune performance admission is 1000 yen. 

Heidi S. Durning dances between cultures. Her choreography fuses Japanese Classical Dance and Contemporary Dance. She is also an accomplished Classical Japanese dancer under the name Fujima Kanso o. Her unique fusion of impulses, along with her passion for working with artists from diverse backgrounds and countries, has resulted in a performance style that is technically accomplished and rich in texture, spirit, and vibrancy. Based in Kyoto, Heidi continues to teach, create, and perform globally.

Daya Tomiko has performed as a soloist all over Japan, becoming one of Japan’s most famous and representative performers of Bharata Natyam. She not only dances on stage in theatres, but also at temples and shrines, at schools, and occasionally for charitable causes. She is Principal of “Thanmaye-Nathyalaya” the Institute of Indian Classical Dance and a Lecturer in Indian Dance at the Osaka University, Faculty of Foreign Languages.

Nonaka, Kumiko (Noh-flute player), graduated from International Christian University, Tokyo with BA (Liberal Arts) in 1986. Studying piano and violin for enjoyment sparked her interest in Japanese traditional music. She began studying noh-flute (a bamboo flute in Noh theatre) with Hiroyuki Matsuda. Performing publicly since 1994, Nonaka has played traditional Noh solo pieces, and collaborated with players of western, eastern, and folklore musical instruments, and traditional and contemporary dancers. She has been invited to many memorial events at shrines and temples, and also performed abroad.

Kyoko Fujimoto / 藤本恭子

幼い頃にダンスを始め、ボストンやニューヨークでバレエやミュージカルシアターなどの作品にダンサーとして出演。その後、ワシントンDCで振付を学ぶ。一見交わらないトピックスを融合することにより、ダンスファンでない観客層も楽しめる作品作りに焦点をあて、食べ物と笑いを掛け合わせた「Flavorland」（2018年）や、物理の世界をコンテンポラリーバレエで描いた「into the fields」（2023年）などを発表。ボストン大学で物理学の学士号を、ハワイ大学マノア校で電気工学の修士号と博士号を修了。

Kyoko Fujimoto, a versatile choreographer, embarked on her dance journey in Japan before gracing stages in Boston and New York City with ballet and musical theater performances. Her ability to infuse joy into movement reflects her creative vision. In her comedy food ballet Flavorland, “Fujimoto expertly captures the joyful experience of devouring a chocolate truffle" (CriticalDance 2018). Beyond dance, Kyoko holds a B.A. in Physics from Boston University and M.S. and Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. Her fusion of artistic expression and academic/scientific prowess enables her to tackle concepts from opposite ends of the spectrum. For example, her "into the fields," a contemporary ballet quartet, explores MRI - Magnetic Resonance Imaging (2023).  Her work not only captivates, but also seamlessly integrates science, offering audiences a compelling intersection.

Claytor Company, a multigenerational company, was founded in 2021 by choreographer, arts educator and arts advocate, Stacey Yvonne Claytor. Claytor is passionate about the transformative capacity of the arts to bridge gaps and connect us with our humanity. Claytor’s work gives a voice to raw experiences and emotions, guiding audience members and even herself towards healing and enlightenment. Themes that emerged in her earlier work include; love, loss, community, isolation, fear, grief and healing. Future projects will explore racism and equality, passion and lust, as well as ways in which human nature imitates the various movements of water. 

Human Landscape Dance was founded in 2006, and has since brought contact choreography around the world. Specializing in artist partnerships, Human Landscape Dance has given performances, held workshops, and shot video footage in Europe, Asia, and South America, as well as cities across the US and Canada. Noted for “…ingenious choreography and staging...” by the Washington Post, the dances of Artistic Director Malcolm Shute are characterized by intimate portraits of people as they undergo change. Using touch to communicate, bodies mold with their environment to create a collage of images.
