We are going to collaborate with Nibroll to create new work ‘wind, water or empty sky’ at 100nengo Art Festival.
百年後芸術祭にて上演される、ニブロール新作「風か水やがらんとした空か」にMurasaki Penguinが参加致します。
Anna will work with Mikuni Yanaihara and Jo Lloyd. She will choreograph a section based on ‘light’. David will work on sound with SKANK and Keisuke Takahashi, creating ‘wind’. The work will be performed alongside rock strata that existed when the Earth’s magnetic field last reversed, at the beginning of the Chibanian geological period 774,000 years ago. It is a incredible location to feel the beautiful nature of Japan.
Please check out the details at Nibroll’s ‘wind, water or empty sky’ event page (Japanese only) and information below.
振付・出演 矢内原美邦、ジョーロイド、黒田杏菜。黒田は光のパートを振付致します。デイビットは音楽をSKANK、高橋啓祐と風パートを協働致します。国指定天然記念物チバニアン「養老川流域田淵の地磁気逆転地層」の壮大な美しい自然の中でのニブロール、是非お楽しみに。

Concept
‘wind, water or empty sky’ is a performance that is more appropriately described as an “experience”. It takes place against the backdrop of “Chibanian” era rock strata in Tabuchi, Yoro River Basin, a nationally renowned natural landmark attracting worldwide attention. Fantasise about the events that happened here, mental images of a time long ago. Listen to the voices engraved in strata that existed before the last geomagnetic reversal approximately 770,000 years ago. Experience memories that have accumulated here, and think about who we are today.

In 2005, he started the MIKUNI YANAIHARA Project. She wrote and directed the play and won the 56th Kishida Drama Award. She also creates visual art works with video artist Keisuke Takahashi under the name off-Nibroll, and has participated in exhibitions such as the Shanghai Biennale, Ohara Museum of Art, Mori Art Museum, and Sendai Mediatheque. She creates works by moving between the fields of dance, theatre, and visual art. She also provides choreography for films directed by Isao Yukisada and Shinsuke Sato. In 2002, she received the Rencontres Choregraphiques Internationales de Seine Saint-Denis / National Councilor’s Award, the 1st Japan Dance Forum Award Grand Prize in 2007, and the Yokohama City Culture and Arts Prize in 2012.

SKANK joined Nibroll in 2005. Since then, he has been in charge of the music for all Nibroll works. He primarily provides music, performs, and collaborates on stages of physical expression both domestically and internationally, and actively holds sessions with artists of other genres. In recent years he has been in charge of domestic and international film music. Since 2015 he has created installations in Japan and abroad such as ‘skin, sensor, filter’, ‘Fu・zai a bs en t’, ‘…missing…’ and ‘…A…ALL…’.

Jo Loyd – Choreographer and Dancer
Jo Lloyd is an influential Melbourne, Naarm based dance artist working with choreography as a social encounter, revealing behaviour over various durations and contexts. Her practice seeks to find a language that refuses the limits of history, form and aesthetic.
A graduate of the Victorian College of the Arts, Jo has presented and performed her work in galleries and theatres nationally and internationally, including commissions for RISING, Chunky Move, Dancenorth, New Zealand Dance Company, Tasdance, Keir Choreographic Award, Liveworks, the Museum of Contemporary Art Sydney, the National Gallery of Australia, the National Gallery of Victoria, MONA FOMA, and the Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts.
In 2005, she collaborated with Yanaihara and Takahashi on off-Nibroll’s ‘public=un+public’ which premiered at BankART 1929 and toured galleries in Melbourne and New York.
Anna Kuroda – Choreographer and Dancer
Kuroda founded Murasaki Penguin in 2010 with sound/multimedia artist David Kirkpatrick. Her movement practice focuses on sensitivity to internal and external air flow around the body, sharpness, fragility and unique rhythm. She aspires to make work where, through focus and technical skill, the dancer’s body is, in a way, unseen; leaving cells and memories. In 2016 she was one of 6 finalists for the Toyota Choreography Award, Japan. She was a performer and stand in / picture double for Li (Fala Chen) in Marvel Studios’ Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021). She has also performed in Nibroll’s ‘Romeo OR Juliet’, ‘NO DIRECTION’, ‘Coffee’, ‘Small Island’ and ‘A Journey Without Distance’.
David Kirkpatrick – Sound and Multimedia Artist
David Kirkpatrick’s practice crosses sound composition, live visuals, performance and installation. His works often relate to the flow of time and essence of individual moments. He is based in Yokohama, Japan and on Darug land (Western Sydney, Australia).
David’s recent Murasaki Penguin projects include Night Walk (2023) and Stutter (2022-2021). Other roles include sound artist for Tamara Dean‘s Stream Of Consciousness at the Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art (2018), China on-set TouchDesigner operator for feature film Pacific Rim Uprising (2018) and building projection designer for the Illuminate Wollondilly Festivals (2015-19). Accolades include Australia Council for the Arts [Digital Culture funding (2010), ArtStart (2009)] and a Fellowship of Australian Composers Award (2007).
He participated in Nibroll’s Journey Without Distance (2022), Off-Nibroll’s Dance in Asia (2015), and Superperfect (2009).
