Firebird by Noism2, ballet for kids

Noism2

Niigata Noism young company, Noism 2, will hold a performance of Firebird specially for kids and their parents in Tokyo Metropolitan Theater (Ikebukuro) on September 14 and 15. It will be followed by a workshop, also for kids. Noism is one of the most famous contemporary dance companies in Japan, and has the experience to work with young and amateur inhabitants in Niigata, where they are based. The choregraphy is from Jo Kanamori, the founder of the company. The workshop will be held in Japanese, for sure, but overall this looks like a wonderful experience with a leading company. The tickets are very cheap (1500 JPY for adults, 500 JPY up to 17).

Noism 0/1 company will also perform the Bolero on September 15th, after it was performed in Saitama in July. Information here.
