Overview
Street performer Gilyak Amagasaki danced all over the world in what he called 'Blue Sky Dance Performances'. These began with performances that were held almost every autumn from 1978 in an outdoor square of the Mitsui Building, in the skyscraper district of Shinjuku, Tokyo. This video shows the entire performance of 13 October 2002. In it, Gilyak indicates a cloth on which the title is written and explains to the audience what is to be performed, then proceeds to dance. There was no charge for the performance, but the audience was encouraged to pay donations. The video shows the audience helping Gilyak collect money thrown on the ground after the performance.
