Barefoot Canon

Overview

Orita Katsuko’s dance piece presented at the Ishii Midori Dance Recital. It is a group piece choreographed to Pachelbel's Canon. The choreography makes expansive use of the space and impressive gestures, with a playfulness brought in by the barefooted girls'. There is a sense of unity, moving with the music without it being an accompaniment.
