Writing Talk Event　
Dance in writing｜Tomoko Konoike, Tomotake Kinoshita
November 28(Sun),2021  3:00pm - 4:30pm

GALLERY MoMo Ryogoku will hold "Writing Dance in writing" by Tomoko Konoike and Tomotake Kinoshita from 15:00 on Sunday, November 28th.

Tomotake Kinoshita is a historian who considers blind people and deaf people through the architectural space, society, and culture of the blind school from the end of the Edo period to the Meiji and Taisho eras. While communicating in sign language, I am on stage at various events.

Koike described his encounter with Kinoshita as "I suddenly came like a Zashiki-warashi, sat down in front of me, and started writing with firm pressure." "At that moment, somewhere in my body. It popped open and I strongly thought that I should be in the play too! " Fascinated by Kinoshita, who draws letters with a wonderful rhythm and speaks intellectually and with a childlike sensibility, he talks like dancing together and cannot catch anyone who is going back and forth between letters / pictures and words. mosquito? I thought, this live was realized. And until the concert, the correspondence between the two people will be exhibited.

There is no audio in the written talk. Then, I decided how to convey it to the blind people, so I asked Akiko Otake, a writer, to help me and read the text of the writing aloud.

The event, which reads out the words spun as if they were dancing and broadcasts live, is like a radio station in a small town.

The people at the venue and all the people watching the live stream feel that Koike says "somewhere in the body pops open" and the unknown time when the sensor of the body is driven and the control is not effective. I hope you can experience it. I wonder what will happen! You will get a glimpse of the moment of serious play. Please participate in the new attempt "Dance in writing".
