¡Mission

We are planning to open "Space Museum" as a corporation to hold "Space Dance in the Tube" at 100 cities around the world. And we will popularize a space tube for the event and for the house. Also through "Space Dance School" we will develop the new talented students as "International Space Dancers" who will work for developing new social designs for a new era.


Ÿ2007 -2013, at museums, theatres, and schools in the world, it was a talk of the town and TV and news papers(ASAHI News PapersEBang Kong PostESouth China Morning Post<1>ESouth China Morning Post<2>EYAMANASHI News Papers). On July 20-August 25 2013, during 37 days, at Yamanashi Prefectural Science Center 38,000 people come to enjoy Space Tube.

¡"Space Dance in the Tube"

"Space Dance in the Tube, Exhibition { Kids Workshop {Space Dance Workshop { Space Dance Performance + Photo Gallery" is a new communication with our whole body. We think that this project is very useful as "Social Design" with 6 themes of Education, Health, Welfare, Art, Environment, and Universe. Its purpose is to get an awareness about our body, particularly the familiar relationship between the body and the space. This awareness with its enough reality is essential for the daily life in our information society.

Now people, in our present-day digital life, lose a kinetic sensation which exists on the source of the life activity for making an evolution as a human with the recognition towards the space using by our whole body. In that time, "Space Dance in the Tube" as a space experience and an expression with adventure will revive our kinetic sensation from our unconsciousness fields. I would like to call to everybody to join this experimental experience.

ŸAsahi Newpaper, Tokyo Japan

In the symposium of "Space Dance in the Tube" at at National Museum of Emerging Science & Innovation in Tokyo, Tetsuro Fukuhara said "Sometimes the science forgets a life design based on the body, but our human always needs its enough familiar relationship between the body and the space for our daily life on the ground and ourter space. We can make its plan using by Space Tube."

ŸKumi Kawasaki, curator of Kawaguchi Arts Gallery

"Everyday 300 visitors come to our museum to experience Space Tube. It was a wonderful spectacle. Many children got into Space Tube, and come out, then soon stood in line in front of Space Tube with quick running. And they come into Space Tube over and over. Before I never saw this kind of amzing scene about children's condition with big excitement. I felt Space Tube keeps some magical effects."

ŸUnited Nations, Office of the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General for LRA-Affected Areas

"Space Dance in the Tube is an important and unique project. Not only is it interesting from the creative point of view giving Uganda artists an opportunity to enhance their contemporary dance skills to better compete internationally, but it is also a usuful tool for working in areas formerly revaged by conflict. Space Dance could be a constructive technique working with rehabilitating children associated with armed conflict and vulnerable youths orphaned by war".

ŸAn official comment from the United Nations in New York

"I would like to thank you for a beautiful performance that you presented at the United Nations. Tokyo Space Dance was a fascinating collaboration of Japanese Butoh dance, architectural design and media technology".

Kids Workshop


We invite parent and child, and we hold "Kids Workshop" on 5 themes of "Walking, Entrustment, Balance, Strain to Hear, and Floating" with them. Then we teach them to play space tube with various ways, and organize their familiar meetings based on body communication. At last we compose "Kids Space Dance Performance" as its results.

Space Dance Workshop


We hold "Space Dance Workshop" on 6 themes of "Body Foundation, Walking Dance, Contact, Spiritual Journey, Paradise in the Little Moving, and Construction of Space Dance Performance" for dancers and artists based on the thought of "Body is one with Environment".

Then we present "Space Dance Performance" at several theaters and festivals in the world or at our own festival as an example of artistic use for Space Tube. We appeal its result in the world.

Photo Gallery

We keep the photographs from "Space Dance in the Tube" around the world and exhibit it as "Photo Gallery".




¡Space Tube Development and Marketing


Marketing

We unfold a project to develop Space Tube as "Space Tube for Event" and "Apalos, Space Tube for House". Then we circulate "Space Tube for Event" to the school, the museum, and the welfare facility and we circulate "Apalos" to the house around the world with a catchword of "one Apalos at one house".

Apalos Design

In Japan, now several advanced architects and designers are starting to present their "new house". For example, we know HOUSE VISION(http://house-vision.jp/en.html) in Tokyo.

In these years we have thought "New Space", from a view point of space dance, under our recognition that today's people, in our present-day digital life, need to revive the kinetic sensation and get the new activities using by whole body. We think "New House", if it is true "New House", need some new kind of device. So, now, we think that if we can use "New Space" as a new device for "New House" well, then we can realize "New House" well.

As much as we know the value of "Space Tube", we thought that we should spread "Space Tube" for the general public and kids around the world. Then, we thought a plan of "Space Tube for House" as "New Space".

œ
We named "Space Tube for House, New Space" as "Apalos / Space Cube".
œ
"Apalos" is a cube by 1,5meter~1,5meter~1,5meter.
œ
We can revive the user's kinetic sensation by "Apalos". We can support the user to improve several postures by "Apalos". "Apalos" is a "New Space" for the keeping health, the developing thinking, and the restoration of mind.
œ
In a bathtub people make a little floating in a hot water, then relax. In "Apalos" people make a new kind of floating between 0 gravity and 1 gravity supported by a cloth which has the elastic and repulsive quality with new fiber material, then relax.

We will develop "Apalos" as the collaboration between house maker, architect or designer, and tokyo space dance international development team to put "Apalos" in "New House".

Then, when we finish its first design as "New Space" we start its second development. We invite toy & game maker, brain scientist, programer, and media artist as our next collaborators to make several sensors in "Apalos".
Using by these sensors the users can make their original plans for the health based on user's several biogenic data. Then, we can complete "Apalos" as "New Space".
Actually, we need several companies to develop "Apalos" from fiber, material, sewing, costume, architecture, house, interior, furniture, real estate business, toy, game, health, education, art, sports and so on.

¡Space Dance School


20 students per one class and 3 years system. The students study the following subjects. Then we bring up them as a "New Talent" with duplicated talents of the science course and the humanities branch by all accounts of these subjects. After the graduation if they want we can offer the jobs of "Space Musem" to them.

‡A Design Workshop
The students try to develop "Space Tube". What kind of possibility for development we have? And when the students use "Space Tube" what kind of new design and new architecture they can make images. They seek all its possibilities.
‡B Design Workshop for Local Community

‡C Space Dance Performance
The students study and perform "Space Dance Performance" on 9 chapters of "Site Dance, Walking Dance, Open a body in the Sky, Strange Fruit, Affinity, Spiritual Journey, Paradise in the Little Moving, Flowers, and Return" as Art & Science work.
‡D Spiritual Journey
