So, we are the ones who started this charity project.
At GöteborgsOperans Balett, there are four Japanese dancers in the company.
Kyoko Matsumoto, Satoko Takahashi, Mariko Kida and Hokuto Kodama.
After the disaster in Japan, we were talking everyday at work about what we can do to contribute to help Japan. And after consideration, we came to the answer. "Let's gather Japanese artists in Gothenburg, to play together, and scream out until our feeling reaches to Japan."
Many artists responded to our suggestion, and we are very excited and confident about this great charity performance we will present.
GöteborgsOperans Balett is in fact, very well known dance company internationally. Within a past decade, the company has quickly became from regional ballet company to international contemporary dance company. Under the current director, Johannes Öhman, we have been invited from all over the world to perform as a guest company. France, USA, Serbia and Switzerland are among the countries that we have been recently, or we are going soon. Each dancers are selected very carefully from auditions, which over 500 dancers from all over the world applies for one available contract.
Presence of four Japanese dancers in the company is very important, and it has been a great input for this top class dance company of Europe.
