Family Work Shop
WRAP! 2024'
This is a dynamic workshop that uses bubble wrap—typically seen as packaging material—in a creative and expansive way. With the help of talented artists in music and dance, we created a space where participants could enjoy crafting, explore body movement, and experience performance.
The workshop was guided in simple Japanese and English, making it accessible and fun for everyone. We welcomed around 25 families, including those living in Kyoto and those from across the seas.
Thank you so much for joining us!
Hello!
Hello! We are "YURIIKA HYAKKATEN," creating stage productions in Kyoto.
Since 2016, we've been hosting Family Workshop DRESS! in various locations such as Kyoto, Shiga, Osaka, Hyogo, Tokyo, Tokushima, and Bangkok, under the theme "Creativity That Overflows Beyond the Desk." This time, we held the event at Horikawa Oike Gallery in Kyoto.
With the help of Troy, we provided guidance in both Japanese and English. Alan, our dance artist, delivered lectures full of humor and love, Uminéko Orchestra offered their uplifting music, and Kumi Morimoto shared her unique presence. Together, we explored the many ways adults can inspire and connect with others.
Expression transcends nationality, bringing people together. The workshop created a rich space where no one was judged, and possibilities unfolded before us. It was a reminder of the beauty and potential of shared creativity.
We would also like to express our gratitude to Kawakami Sangyo Co., Ltd., who manufactures bubble wrap. The bubble wrap used in this workshop will be recycled and transformed into new materials. Perhaps the playful energy and creativity shared by everyone during the workshop will also find their way into making the world a better place.
"WRAP!" is a workshop that follows the basic process of creation. In a world increasingly divided, this workshop emphasizes the joy of creating together, seeing things from a new perspective, resting together, and connecting with the energy of artists. These are the values we at Eureka Department Store cherish deeply.
We hope to continue creating opportunities for not only children but also adults to enjoy and explore together.

Introducing the Artists We Will Welcome
8/24 Guest Artist
Alain SINANDJA
SINANDJA Dakonyéme ( Alain SINANDJA)
originally from I, uAfrica, I now call Japan my home. My journey intouk the world of professional dance began with Aske-Dance and the SOJAF traditional dance company, where I dedicated myself from 2010 to 2015. CT I furthered my dance education by earning a diploma in African traditional and contemporary dance at Ecole Des Sables in Toubab Dialaw, Senegal, in 2017. Following that, I graduated from an intensive 8-month dance program at Art Theater Dance Box Kobe in 2018. I am the Artistic Director and Founder of Cie Arts For All and the Happy African Festival. As a dancer, I have collaborated on significant projects, including Kota Yamazaki’s "Darkness part3," Yasuko Yokoshi’s "Lynch," and Yu Shimomura, the first-prize winner of the Yokohama Dance Collection competition. One of my most engaging and ongoing collaborations is with J'Sun Howard, an award-winning Chicago-based dancemaker, on the multi-year project titled "The Righteous Beauty of the Things Never Accounted For," exploring the sophisticated and complex theme of Black Fugitivity in relation to Japanese culture/aesthetics. Additionally, I have a passion for educating others in the art of Traditional African and contemporary dance. I believe that these dance forms transcend mere rhythm, gesture and breath-timing, offering a transcendent experience beyond human existence. Teaching allows me to share the historical significance of each traditional dance, highlighting their remarkable diversity. My teaching methodology is grounded in the Acogny technique, which involves connecting different parts of the body through the spine modulation and vibration, drawing inspiration from a rich tapestry of African traditional dances. Furthermore, I place significant emphasis on deconstructing these traditional dances, bridging them into the contemporary realm. My aim is to empower students, help them understand the connections between different parts of the body while gaining new insight into the origins of each African traditional dance. In doing so, I hope I can impart invaluable knowledge to my students, fostering a deep appreciation for this art form.
