  • October 18: Eve OG Woman

    22308906_10155680866740119_534870746749118139_n

    庭園からの爽やかな風、美の苦痛、イヴOGウォマンは神々しいクィア精神を持った荘厳な創造物! 男女の境を曖昧にする存在! そのプラチナブロンドスタイルは常識はずれで刺激的、皆が「女王ここにあり」と叫ぶだろう!!
    噂によると、イヴが楽園を追い出されたのは、禁断の果実を食べたがためではなく、聖書に記された男女の概念をかき乱したことによる。
    イヴOGウォマンは世界を旅する。出会った人々ときらめきを分かち合うために。
    イヴOGウォマンは、服装倒錯の科学者タナー・バイナーが生み出した女性のペルソナである。
    タナー・バイヤーはトーマス・J・ワトソン奨学金――アメリカ国外での独立した研究プロジェクトへの権威ある奨学制度――を受けている。研究テーマは、女性的な化粧や衣装、パフォーマンスアートを男性の体へ投影すること、その探求である。
    研究に打ち込む中、蓄積された経験と個人的な物語は、将来手掛けることとなるドラァグアートへの啓発となり、世界中でのジェンダー論を活性化させたのである。

    ***************
    EVE OG WOMAN blurs the lines between perceptions of male and female. Her platinum-blonde style has been described as both absurd and arousing, leaving audiences screaming, “YAAAASSSSSSSSS QUEEN!” It’s rumored that Eve was not kicked out of the garden of Eden for biting into the forbidden fruit, but for disturbing ideas in the Bible of what it means to be a man or a woman and suggesting that someone could be both. EVE OG WOMAN is starting her world tour, sharing her sparkle with everyone she encounters along the way.

    EVE OG WOMAN is the feminine persona conceived by Tanner Byer, a cross-dressing scientist. Tanner Byer is the recipient of the Thomas J. Watson Fellowship, a prestigious award funding an independent research project outside of the United States. Byer’s project explores projections of femininity onto masculine bodies through makeup, costume design, and performance art. The experiences and personal narratives collected from his Watson year will go on to inspire and influence Byer’s future drag artistry and help to increase discussion around the world about the rigid gender binary of male and female.

  • We’re Moving!!

    Maybe you have already guessed it but… We’re moving!

    First the sad news 🙁

    It’s been an amazing 2 and a half years at Studio IVVA in Harajuku, January 2014 – June 2017 but as Chaucer said, “There is an end to everything, to good things as well” It has been more than good at Studio IVVA it’s been fantastic, we have been so fortunate and happy to have been hosted by such gracious people. Thank you so much Yusuke and Masa for allowing all this magic to happen in your Harajuku studio!

    Now the good news 🙂

    We are returning to our roots in Shibuya! From September Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School Tokyo will be hosted at The Guinguette by Moja on every 3rd Wednesday! This is a great place and it will be an honour to be included in their regular calendar of events which already is host to a lot of burlesque, pole dance, and musical events!

    既にご存知の方もいらっしゃるでしょうが、今後の日程についてお伝えします。 まずは悲しいお知らせ。 2014年1月から2017年6月まで2年半、原宿Studio IVVAで素晴らしい時間を過ごしてきましたが、かのジェフリー・チョーサーも言っていたように「すべての物事には、よいことと同じように終わりがある」のです。Studio IVVAは晴れやか且つ華やかであり、あたたかいスタッフにも恵まれました。ユウスケさんとマサさんに謹んでお礼を申し上げます。 次に素敵なお知らせ。 また渋谷へ戻ることとなりました。9月からは毎月第3水曜日、The Guinguette by Mojaで開催します。バーレスク、ポールダンス、ライヴ等が行われている絢爛たる場所にDr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School Tokyoも加わるのです。輝かしい皆さまとご一緒出来て、非常に誇らしく思います。 日時、場所ともに変更でご迷惑をおかけいたしますが、今後ともよろしくお願い申し上げます。

  • June 23: Barbara Murata

    19059814_10154644285598321_1435453687019764760_n

    Profile(en)
    Barbara Murata is one of Japan’s top mime artists. She mixes theatre, dance, puppetry, mask and object manipulation to
    create a new mime world. She has performed worldwide both on the streets and in theatres. Murata’s unique style includes the dramatic, the romantic, and the comicーall illustrated through her sense of rhythm and movement. Her character’s charm is honest and sincere: a woman coming and going between day and night, yin and yang, inside and outside. Murata is also a member of the performing arts company, Yubiwa
    Hotel.

    Doppelgänger is a mixed-media performance using mime, dance, masks, and puppetry. Murata describes our other selves and our deepest thoughts, and her show also explores the extremes of love, hate, solitude, and griefーwhich we all know but keep to ourselves in our own secret world where the fire of passion never dies. Doppelgänger is pure physical theatre alternating between Eros and Thanatos, Life and Death, Yin and Yang, Chaos and Calm, Noise and Silence… those moments of solitude where an inner voice asks, “What do I want? Where am I going? Who am I? How will I live?”

    �Profil (fr)
    Barbara Murata est une mime parmi les plus reconnues au Japon. Elle mélange théâtre, danse, marionnettes, masques et la manipulation d’objets afin de créer un nouveau monde du mime. Elle a présenté ses spectacles de par le monde dans un contexte de rue ainsi qu’en salle. Le travail unique de Barbara Murata se base sur un style dramatique, sur le romantisme et sur la comédie. Il est illustré par un sens du rythme et du mouvement. Imbue de charme honnête et sincère, Barbara est une femme qui va et vient entre jour et nuit, entre Yin et Yang, intérieur et extérieur. Elle est membre de la compagnie de théâtre, Yubiwa Hotel.

    “Doppelgänger” est un spectacle multimédia qui inclut mime, danse, masques et marionnettes. “Doppelgänger” décrit notre autre moi, l’esprit profond en nous et explore les états extrêmes de l’amour, de la haine, de la solitude et du chagrin; émotions communes à tous mais cachées dans le monde secret de l’individu, là où le feu de la passion ne s’éteint jamais. Théâtre physique pur qui oscille entre Éros et Thanatos, entre la vie et la mort, entre le Yin et le Yang, le chaos, la tranquillité et le silence… en d’autres termes, ces moments de solitude quand notre voix intérieure nous demande: “Qu’est-ce que je veux? Où vais-je? Qui suis-je? Comment vais-je vivre?”

  • April 28: Nammy & Nazo

    17855009_10154461599943321_199349388399417374_o.jpg

    【三上ナミと謎カンパニー】 NammyNazo

    運命の悪戯によるあの手この手の強烈な試練により人間不信に陥っていた昭和歌謡が好きな歌手の三上ナミと
    全てが謎だが、なぜだかピアノが弾ける謎の地方公務員が出逢う。少し心がザワつく、けれどどこか癒されるへんてこな音楽が流れる。三上の心の傷は音という魂を吸い音楽になっていった。

    そして、「この人は、人間じゃないから信頼できるかもしれない…!」そう思った三上は謎の地方公務員と組むことを改めて決意。
    謎の地方公務員は「ヌーイ」と一言。

    “オペラ仕立てのレトロでシュール、そしてクラシカルな世界を貴方に!”をスローガンに掲げ
    唄とピアニカ担当の三上ナミとピアニスト謎の地方公務員が中心となって織り成す楽団。

    IT’S NOT POPS.
    IT’S NOT JAZZ.
    IT’S NAMMYNAZO.

    三上ナミと謎の地方公務員率いる”謎カンパニー” (ドラム、ベース、ヴァイオリン)と共に哀愁漂うどこか懐かしい楽曲で、
    下町情緒、エレジー、郷愁、クラシカルをテーマにオペラ仕立てのレトロでシュールな世界を展開。

    On one fated evening, a young singer who loved the songs of the Show era met a mysterious, masked keyboardist who worked as a civil servant during the day. Little by little the music began to flow and touch people’s hearts. Sounds formed by the scars on Nammy’s heart emerged and formed music.

    “This person cannot possibly be human, so I don’t think I should trust him….” thought Nammy about the mysterious civil servant but decided to join forces with him anyways.
    The mysterious man responded, “Nui.”

    NammyNazo is band that combines Nammy Mikami, vocalist and underground actress, and Nazo, the mysterious civil servant who performs drums, bass, and violin with Nazo Company. (In Japanese, Nazo means mystery.) Their stories of melancholy and delusion seem tailored for opera, but NammyNazo has a surreal, retro sound with classical notes reminiscent of the Showa era of Japan. Nammy Mikami is the lead vocalist and lyricist and she usually wears vintage clothes or kimono, adding to the band’s nostalgic feel.

    It’s not pop.
    It’s not jazz.
    It’s NammyNazo.

    Use all of your five senses to experience and enjoy the world of nostalgia for the old backstreets of Tokyo created by Nammy Mikami and Nazo Company as NammyNazo.

  • March 31: Tuna Mermaid

    tuna

    2016年デビューした、踊らないのにドラマティックなバーレスクダンサー。かつて宮廷風刺劇であったという17世紀のバーレスクを21世紀に再構築することを目指している。王様のいない現代に、風刺されるのは一体だれ?

    今回ご披露するショーには『My Sweet Pillow』という名前が付いていますが、実はクラシックバレエの名作『コッペリア』への風刺作品です。このバレエの劇中の悪役は、人形と暮らし、人形の世話をし、人形を愛する村はずれの変わり者。大変気持ちの悪い人物として描かれています。しかし気持ち悪いことは悪ではないし、彼は彼のままで幸せになることもできたはず。『My Sweet Pillow』では、村はずれの変わり者をエプロン姿のピンナップガールに、お人形を二次元のイケメン抱き枕に置き換えて、ドラマティックな脱衣(Burlesque)を行います。愛の形に「普通」を求める全ての人への風刺(Burlesque)になっているといいなと思います。驚きのハッピーエンドをぜひ見にいらしてください。

    クロッキーモデルとしては、たぷたぷの背中とお腹は描きごたえがあり、また足先と指先の所作はイラストレーションにうってつけです。

    Tuna Mermaid made her debut as a non-dancing burlesque performer in 2016. Tuna Mermaid is a non-typical Japanese beauty who also works as a popular artist’s model with her curvaceous figure reminding one of Ruben’s nudes, Elvgren’s pin-up girls, and the characters in Japanese Shojo comics. Burlesque was a comedic performance or parody that often mocked the European imperial courts in the 17th century and is being revived in the 21st century. In an era without powerful kings and queens, who will be mocked?

    On March 31, Tuna Mermaid will do her “My Sweet Pillow” routine, which is based on the classic ballet comedy, Coppelia. The villain in the original ballet is an oddball who lives on the edge of town with a mechanical doll, takes care of the doll, and loves the doll. Dr Coppelius is written as a despicable person, but things that feel awful are not bad. If he had lived the way he wanted to, he would have been happy. In “My Sweet Pillow”, the main character is a sexy but wacky woman who wears an apron and looks like a 1950s housewife ala Lucille Ball (who was also a pin-up model), and the doll is now a two-dimensional body pillow with the picture of a hot guy on it. As the show progresses, she dramatically changes her appearance for her “man” in a desperate attempt to appeal to him. Through such forms of love, all people seek to be ‘normal’. The surprise happy ending has to be seen to be believed!
