“Performance Residence in Museum 2024-25” is an artist-in-residence (AIR) program aimed at young artists who engage in physical and performance expression. We will be holding a stay report session by Tanka dancer/choreographer Yu Wakuta, who stayed at the Setagaya Art Museum for a total of 15 days from October to November. Wakuta’s theme is “Encounter the beauty of Seta through your body and words! ~ What is the process of connecting everyday life and art/artists and viewers?” I interviewed the people who run the museum, participated in programs held at the museum, and based on what I felt during my stay, I wrote many tanka poems and experimented with physical expression. At the stay report session, we will have a talk to reflect on our activities, and we will also have time for participants to experience the experiments they conducted during their stay at various locations within the museum. There will also be a performance in which Wakuta will dance along with the tanka poems he created during his stay. This is a workshop where you can use your body and words to experience the “place where everyday life and art mix” that I am exploring in my residency at Setami, while taking a walk. First, we will prepare you to enjoy the beauty of Setami by doing work that will open your senses while relaxing your body. Then, with the sensations of the open body, we will explore the “places where everyday life and art mix” hidden inside and outside of Seta Beauty, thoroughly enjoy it with our bodies, and put that feeling into words. Let’s enjoy the different taste of Setami together!

We support the activities of artists who are consciously working on “crossing borders” and “expansion” of expression through collaborative work and involvement with the local community. ・Emphasis on dialogue and experiments that can only be achieved by staying at an art museum Our curators, program directors, and coordinators utilize their respective expertise to support artists from planning their activities to research and activities during their stay. In addition, we will provide opportunities for dialogue and interaction with people who work at the museum, visitors to the museum, etc., depending on the artist’s interests. ●FY2022 Artist in residence: Taishi Nukada (composer/director) Stay Theme: “Borderless Sound”
