MOON Kyungwon and JEON Joonho participated as tutors of collaborative performance works and the Academy at the Tokyo Wonder Site, together with Ensemble Modern, a chamber ensemble and academy based in Frankfurt, Germany dedicated to contemporary experimental music, Danny Yung, a director for contemporary performance arts in Hong Kong and Singapore and Toshi Ichiyanagi, a collaborator of the NEWS FROM NOWHERE project as well as composer of avant-garde music.

MOON and JEON presented the meaning and results of the collaborations carried out through the NEWS FROM NOWHERE project. During the seminar period, in-depth discussions, along with lectures on each genre, took place. Moreover, they carried out mentoring for young artists under the theme of the Academy as well as a collaborative performance with Ensemble Modern, Danny Yung and Toshi Ichiyanagi at the Tokyo Women’s Plaza Hall at 2 p.m. on March 30th.

Through the collaborative experimental art performance, a prologue-like sketch performance was completed. Collaboration with Ensemble Modern is scheduled for 2014.

Theme:
John Cage×Daisetz Suzuki×Toshi Ichiyanagi
After World War II, American art dismantled existing conventions and experimented in new forms of investigation and creation. Within this current, John Cage encountered the Zen through Daisetz Suzuki and opened up the musical horizon, not only influencing the arts but profoundly changing the way people live. For his part, Daisetz Suzuki disseminated Zen, the origin of Eastern modes of perception, throughout the world so that it could play a role in the new global culture and become a deeper way of exploring human existence. Ichiyanagi worked with Cage in New York, and after returning to Japan he carried out numerous experimental avant-garde projects, while at the same time creating new forms of expression from Japanese ancient culture and traditional spaciotemporal concepts. With the global economic crisis, the Jasmine Revolution, the earthquake disaster of March 11, 2011 and so on, today's world is in need of a major shift in values, and it is in this situation that the Academy is focusing on Cage, Daisetz and Ichiyanagi. In 2013, John Cage's 100th anniversary + 1, we will take another important step together with Ichiyanagi, Ensemble Modern, and young artists.
