collaborates while contributing to solving organizational issues such as improving corporate image through dance-mediated activities, has been implemented with Saitama Rapid Railway (2022) and JR East (2023). As the third event following this, it has been decided that this year we will jointly hold the “Animal Gathering Dance” event with Saitama Children’s Zoo! The first part is the “Animal Observation Tour & Animal Movement Dance Workshop” (application required and limited to 30 people (target: children 4 years old and older and their families)) (*Registration has reached capacity and is closed). After the children learned about the ecology of animals through an animal observation tour led by zookeepers, Ryohei Kondo’s specialty was a physical workshop where participants shared information about animal ecology and movements while creating dance choreography together. I’ll go. The second part will be “Let’s all dance! Animal Gathering Dance” (movie shooting), which requires no registration and has no capacity. This is a program where you share the dance you created during the first half of the workshop with all participants and dance together. We would like to utilize the unique characteristics of the Children’s Zoo and the theater to hold events that will contribute to the development of children’s rich minds and healthy bodies, and we ask for your cooperation in public relations. ●Saitama Prefecture Children’s Animal Nature Park x Saitama Arts Theater “Animal Gathering Dance” Overview Date and time: Sunday, November 24, 2024 Part 1 10:30-12:30 (*Advance registration required) Part 2 13:30-14:30 Venue: Saitama Children’s Zoo East Garden and Picnic Square * In case of rain, the outdoor stage will be used Participation fee: Free *Admission fee will be charged separately Target group: Children aged 4 and over and their families (Part 1) *Anyone can participate in Part 2 Application: 10/12 ( Applications will be accepted from Saturday), please check the theater website for details
