blanClass + Megumi KAMIMURA
Since 2009, blanClass (Live Art & Archive) has run Live Art mostly on weekends in a small art space in a residential area of Yokohama. It has also held many sessions such as lectures, workshops, and other events. After closing its live events in 2019, blanClass’ main project is its renewed official website with a focus on its archive. For this year’s Live Art tour, blanClass will be co-directing a city tour with Megumi Kamimura, a choreographer and dancer who has been producing and performing her works since 2004 both in Japan and internationally.
