There is a body, a floor, and a drum set.
A speaker stands tangled in messy cables, while scripts and music loudly announce their claim to connection.
An overdecorated, overinflated environment demands I jump in — yet the body refuses.
Was it me who wavered, thrown off by the endless repetition of that act?(!) — Minutes, July 5, 2025

Gaki no Danjiki presents its first-ever dance production as the second installment of its “Tricking” series, which explores physical expression and movement as extensions of acting.
Titled “STUDY”, this piece was not created to belong solely to Gaki no Danjiki, but was conceived as a shared performance platform across genres and groups.
Through fieldwork and research conducted throughout Japan, the project seeks to generate
a performative language that captures the physicality of present day Japanese —
and the environments that seek to constrain or erase them.

—The environment welcomes modifier. But my body, somehow, does not.
