PARADISE HOUR, an event by PARADISE AIR short-stay program residents Valeriya Koptsova, Yuichiro Nakamura and Pia Graf, will be held at the Harusame Bridge Water Plaza and Hamatomo Building entrance.

Valeriya Koptsova, who is currently in Japan from Ukraine through the “TOUCH JAPAN PROJECT” (*), will be holding a workshop where participants can move their bodies freely based on her dance experience. Yuichiro Nakamura will present a performance work that includes a new piece featuring seven artists taking turns. Pia Graf will screen an animation work on the theme of “movement” inspired by Japanese butoh dance and featuring the artists who are staying in Matsudo together.
