Landscape with Dance Project 

 (Oct, 2021- Mar, 2022

Organized by Company zer


The performance dares to venture out of the theater, and into the

town, in an open space where one's viewpoint is not determined.

we feel the power of the land,the power of the building,

and the vibrations of the bodies and energies of the creatures.

To achieve these, we collaborate with various fields of expertise and

repeat learning, practices, and discussion.

This project explores the possibilities of time and space for dancing

as there are.

Workshop Career



Organized by Sense Theatre

January 20-22, 2023


「Body Mechanism and

Devising Creative Workshop」



Rasta Hall, Itami, Japan






Sense theatre gave me a chance to do the

 workshop in kansai area for the first time.

I really appreciate that.

The theme of the workshop was

"How to create a space for creation,"

"How to create with devising" and so on.

I started with the connection between the body,

 brain, and mind, and how they work together.












Physical workshop with Davide Doro

Organized by Senya Niya

(
August 2022)


Davide Doro (Compagnia Rodisio)


Actor, scripter, writer and director.


In 1997, he began working with Manuela Capece, also an actor, writer, and director, and in 2005 they founded Compagnia Rodisio. Since then, they have presented productions for children and adults in Italy and abroad, as well as training programs for children, teens, and adults.
His works have been translated into 10 languages (French, English, Spanish, Portuguese, Catalan, Greek, Russian, German, Danish, and Japanese.)
He has also created in England, Japan, Russia, Denmark, and Liechtenstein, as well as in Italy. In order to create engaging theater, his productions are inspired by real life experiences and are presented with a unique sense of irony and humor.
At the heart of Compagnia Rodisio's work is material gathered over years of workshops with children in theaters and schools in Italy and abroad. These materials are refined, transformed, and composed into works of art. The words, ideas, and images obtained from years of field research are brought back to life through the performance.
The theatrical productions that they create with the children themselves are an integral part of Compagnia Rodisio's creative process and the final product of their work.

Introduction of performance group

 Senya Niya

Based on theater and physical expression, the group creates works based on picture books and devising without using scripts, works with overseas artists on themes that connect Japan and other countries, works for children, and works with children. The group is a creative activity group with the theme of "connecting life and art", using body, words, music, etc., valuing what comes from the person, the time, the place, etc., and holds workshops in Japan and abroad using acting techniques, drama therapy, coaching, some communication education techniques, etc., and holds workshops in Japan and abroad using some of the techniques of acting, drama therapy, coaching, communication education, etc. They also hold workshops with citizens in Fuchu City as registered lecturers dispatched by Fuchu Citizen's Activity Center Platz.
She also holds workshops for citizens in Fuchu City as a registered instructor at the Fuchu City Citizen Activity Center Platz.


Purpose of Establishment 

To deepen cultural exchange through creative activities with people from overseas, regardless of whether they are professionals or amateurs, by transcending language barriers, such as international exchange based on themes born in each other's countries.
To provide works that can be enjoyed by both children and adults. 
To create a safe place for participants to enjoy their daily lives, such as workshops with citizens, where they can connect with other people, relieve the stress they feel in their daily lives using theatrical techniques, etc., and find new ways of expressing themselves.

Recent activities as Senya Niya

In addition to creative activities with themes that can be enjoyed by both children and adults, we were selected for the "Yell" project, a grant for supporting citizen activities in 2021, and have been working with citizens of Fuchu City on the theme of "nurturing the power of life" by using acting techniques, communication education, drama therapy, coaching, and other techniques. We also hold workshops to help people find their own expression to live joyfully, and to relieve the stresses they feel in their daily lives.

"Let's find your expression
         
                to live happily day by day!"     Workshop   


We started this project from April to December 2021 with the aim of enriching the daily lives of the participants by touching upon "your expression" to live each day joyfully through a series of continuous workshops.
We will use theatrical techniques and the things we like and are passionate about as the basis for our work, and we will also use the word "town" (town, city) to describe the impressions, episodes, and images that come to mind when we hear the word "town" (town where you live now, town where you used to live, town where you will live in the future, town that remains in your memories, town that you imagine, etc.) The final goal of the event was a performance by those who wished to participate.
The final purpose of the project was to create a work entitled " A view of a Town", which was created after discussions among the participants based on their own experiences.
We created two versions: a collaborative festival version (to interact with Fuchu citizens) and a planetarium version at the Fuchu City Museum of Natural History.

"The Best Gift in the World"


It has been a very difficult year of endurance for adults and

children as well, because of the Corona pandemic.


We wanted children in the Shonan area to give a chance to see a free

performance and enjoy the Christmas season.

So, we created this performance based on picture book.
