August 22, 2024

Creative Minds Collaborative presents “Meiji Dances”, a new dance piece choreographed by Nao Kusuzaki. Inspired by the current special exhibition at The Museum of Fine Arts Houston, “Meiji Modern: Fifty Years of New Japan”, the work intertwines traditional Japanese dance forms with contemporary vocabularies and reflect the collision and integration of Western influences.

The narrative is set in modern-day Japan and mirrors the spirit of the era, celebrating both the richness of Japan’s heritage and its embrace of global influences. The performance is accompanied by live musicians led by pianist Kana Mimaki, who draws from Japanese composers such as Rentaro Taki, with Western compositions by Camille Saint-Saëns.
