Information

“Fujii Mami, a dancer who was born in Sanyo-onoda city, holds her first solo dance performance and a concert with Ai Matsunaga(pianist) and Makamura Maki(clarinet player) both born in Sanyo-onoda city, too.
I dance a self-choreography and direction piece “Beginning is Ending, Ending is Beginning” with Piano by Matsunaga in 1st stage.
In 2nd stage, my dance will collaborate with Piano by Matsunaga and Clarinet by Nakamura.
Numbers are “Take Five”, “An American in Paris’ and “Sing Sing Sing”

In “Beginning is Ending, Ending is Beginning”, I will express my feelings remained strongly in my heart.
Even if each person experiences different things, but all human beings live their own lives with similar emotions. Audience can react to this work in any way.
I hope that audiences will be also released from something by our performance.” – Fujii Mami
