Art in Takamatsu
2012年11月26日
As the intro to our site says, Takamatsu is a city full of art and this time I’d like to introduce you to a creative group calling themselves ‘Theater Tank’ working out of Shikoku University which isn’t quite in Takamatsu, but not very far away in the small town of Zentsuji, Kagawa.
Maya Sakamoto is on the staff of the university and kindly gave me some photos (and aren’t they remarkable?) to post for our blog.
‘Theater Tank’ is as the name implies, a collective body of both staff & students using choreography, lighting, dance and theater as the stage for their interesting projects. Well perhaps they’re more than just ‘intersting’ they look quite exiting, frankly. Walking on eggs has always been an image I can relate to with my occasional stumbles through this vast tapestry we call ‘life’s journey.’
Maya is working with other staff and majors to perform Hamlet in 15 minutes (sic) this will be interestin’ indeed. But I digress, as the troupe are seasoned and dedicated to performance-as-art and if the quality of the photos she sent me are anything to judge by, we’re in for a good show.
More information in Japanese is available here.

*I’ll be back and looking at more art in the city and also at some alternative life-style people who are making their way to the prefecture to develop their art & lives here in the unique environment that we have. See you then and stay warm.
