The dance club of National University Corporation Okayama University (Headquarters: Kita-ku, Okayama City, President: Yasutomo Nasu) participated in the “36th All-Japan High School/University Dance Festival” held in Kobe City from August 7th to 10th, 2024. , received one of the top 10 awards, “Special Award: Invention of production effects appropriate to the theme”.
The tournament is called “Dance Koshien” and attracts many teams from all over the country every year. This year, 107 high schools and universities participated.
“Nocturna’s Night ~From Yakumo Koizumi’s “Nocturnal Insects””, performed by our university’s dance club, was created with the theme of “Nocturnal Insects” (from his book “Shadow”, 1900), which is known as the culmination of Yakumo Koizumi’s later years. This is a work. Nocturnal insects are a group of cellular organisms that get their name from the fact that they appear to glow at night when they occur in large numbers, and these small life forms appear as a motif that symbolizes Yakumo’s worldview. -Nocturnal insects floating all over the calm night sea. The light from billions of stars emits a steady stream of faint light in a variety of colors, including sapphire, emerald, and sometimes ruby. Yakumo saw this scene as a magnificent spiritual world where reality and unreality merge, and he saw himself as a fluorescent dot floating in a sea of mystery. In the dance piece, Yakumo’s fantastical image was expressed through effective use of white cloth covering the entire stage and lighting that illuminated the sculptures.
This is the 11th time that our university’s dance club has won this award at this competition. The tournament was also broadcast on NHK E-Tele from 14:00 to 15:00 on Saturday, August 24th.
The dance club is working on a wide range of dance genres, including expressive and rhythmic, and we look forward to their continued success in the future. Please look forward to the continued success of the Okayama University Dance Club.
