日本當代舞蹈現狀
在日本，芭蕾，現代舞等西洋舞蹈的引入已有100年的歷史了。這期間，西洋舞蹈與傳統的日本舞蹈、民間舞蹈共同存在，有了形形色色的發展和展開。最為獨特的是20世紀60年代，為了對抗當時蔚然成風的西洋舞蹈，而產生了一種根植於日本人的身體和文化的全新的舞蹈類型——「舞踏」。發源於日本的「舞踏」不僅在日本國內，也給世界舞蹈界帶來了巨大的影響， 得到世界的矚目。
而現在，被稱為當代舞的舞蹈盛行於世。這是不同於運用既定的動作形態和價值觀以新的主題構建新作品的芭蕾和現代舞的舞蹈，而是從形式到價值觀都由舞蹈家獨自的思考及實踐主導的藝術形式。 當代舞相比技術而言更注重概念，與影像及戲劇合作、在劇場以外的空間舞蹈等等，不斷湧現出多種多樣的作品來。
本講座中，將會對日本當代舞蹈的產生、 發展的歷史背景以及現在比較活躍的藝術家做介紹。
什麼是社區舞蹈？
舞蹈作為現代舞臺藝術的一份子，是在這樣的框架下發展起來的：受過訓練的專業舞者舞蹈，觀眾作為業外人士對舞蹈進行鑑賞。然而近年來，在日本，不管有無舞蹈經驗，不問年齡性別、個人經歷、無論身體是健全或是殘疾，由普通人創造並參與的舞蹈開始廣泛流傳開來。這很大程度上是在20世紀70年代起始於英國的社區舞蹈的影響下發展起來的。英國的社區舞蹈的宗旨是無論什麼人、在什麼地方、怎樣舞蹈都行，這卻並非單純為了娛樂而進行的集體舞蹈，而是在專業舞者以及實踐者主導下進行的創造性舞蹈。其背景是為了讓在社會教育、在職場中受到排擠的人們通過舞蹈及藝術實踐活動，強化與社區的聯繫，融入社會的社會性包容思想。在日本，毫無舞蹈經驗的男女老少參加這樣的社區舞蹈，體驗舞蹈的樂趣與創造的喜悅的機會在不斷增加。

Present situation of Japan contemporary dance
In Japan, the introduction of ballet, contemporary dance and other western dances dated from 100 years ago. During this period, the western dance coexisted with traditional Japanese dance and folk dance, experiencing varied development and extension. In 1960s, to challenge the then popular western dance, a brand new type of dance originated from the physical condition and culture of Japan was born—butoh, which is very unique. The Butoh was not only popular in Japan but also well-received by the dancing field of the whole world.
Nowadays, Contemporary dance (the dance in contemporary age) came to prevalence. Unlike ballet or modern dance which develops new theme and create new work based on the fixed physical posture and values, the contemporary dance is a kind of art form which the dancer will dominate from the form to the value based on their independent thinking and practice. The contemporary dance focuses more on the concept instead of the techniques, and through the cooperation with image and play, intending to create more works outside the theatre.
In this lecture, the historical background of the creation, development of Japan’s contemporary dance and active artists will be introduced.
What is community dance?
As part of the contemporary performing art, dancing developed under such framework: the dancing performed by the trained, professional dancer, and the appreciation of the audiences as amateurs. Recently, however, dancing created and participated by common people became very popular, which set no limit based on whether you have dancing experience, gender, age, personal experience and physical conditions. It was largely inspired by the British community dance in 1970s. The British community dance can be performed wherever, by whoever, in whatever manner. It is not for pure entertainment, but creative dancing led by professional dancer or practitioners intended for strengthening the connections of communities. Social inclusion thoughts can be found in such dances. In Japan, there are many young and elderly people who have no dancing experience participating in such community dance, and the chance of experiencing the fun of dance and joy of creation increases.
