SUMMARY:MEIJI Dances at The MFAH
DESCRIPTION:August 22\, 2024\n“Meiji Dances” is a new dance piece choreographed by Nao Kusuzaki\, artistic director of Creative Minds Collaborative. Inspired by the exhibition Meiji Modern: Fifty Years of New Japan\, the movements intertwine traditional Japanese dance forms with contemporary vocabularies and reflect the collision and integration of Western influences. This dance narrative is set in modern-day Japan and mirrors the spirit of the era it seeks to portray\, celebrating both the richness of Japan’s heritage and its embrace of global influences. The performance is accompanied by pianist Kana Mimaki\, who draws from Japanese composers such as Rentaro Taki with Western compositions by Camille Saint-Saëns. \nPlan Your Visit \n\nThis program is included with Museum admission. The performance takes place in Brown Auditorium Theater on the lower level of the Law Building\, and the exhibition is on the upper level.\n\n  \n  \n  \nPhotography by Lynn Lane
