Research in the History of the Western Dance in Japan and Other Countries in Asia

1.准备在日本设立舞蹈学。我已经收集并仍在收集关于舞蹈的基础文献，特别是关于芭蕾舞史的文献，因为我们的紧迫任务是建立日本芭蕾舞史的学术研究。此外，在这三年中，我试图通过杰出芭蕾舞演员的传记，对二十世纪芭蕾舞史的主流进行调查。我关于这个题目的文章刊登在日文版的《舞蹈杂志》上。亚洲国家舞蹈全球化调查。我在韩国艺术综合学校做过调查，了解到在韩国，培养优秀芭蕾舞演员的重点不是在学校，而是在国立大学。在中国，芭蕾舞教育是在俄罗斯芭蕾舞的影响下开始的，在我研究的上海城市舞蹈学校，教育体系类似于巴黎歌剧院芭蕾舞学校或所谓的圣彼得堡瓦加诺娃学校。后现代社会中的新民间舞蹈。我研究了在日本400多个城市和村庄举行的所谓的“yosakoi类型的节日”。这种类型的节日可以被认为是后现代现象，值得注意的是它们由西方舞蹈（爵士舞）组成。它们是100年前西方舞蹈传入日本的成果。舞蹈治疗中的西方舞蹈和日本舞蹈。所谓的舞蹈疗法，是由富士美子从美国引进的，使用的是现代舞的技术，而日本舞蹈流派TakasawaSchool则以日本舞蹈的技术为基础，开发了康复舞蹈的方法，用于治疗脑梗塞等疾病的患者。

1.Preparing the establishment of Dance Studies in Japan. I have collected and still am collecting basic literature on dance, especially on ballet history, as our urgent task is to establish scholarship in ballet history in Japan. Also, for these three years I have tried to make a survey of mainstreams of the twentieth century ballet history through biographies of outstanding ballerinas. My essays on this subject were printed in Japanese edition of the Dance Magazine.2.Survey of the globalization of dance in Asian countries. I have made a research at Korea National University of Arts and knew that in Korea they put emphasis on rearing good ballet dancers not in schools but in the national university. In China, ballet education has started under thee influence of Russian Ballet and in Shanghai City Dance School where I made a research, educational system is similar to that of Paris Opera Ballet School or the so-called Vaganova school in Saint-Petersburg.3.New Folk Dance in the Postmodern Society. I made a research into the so-called "Yosakoi-type festivals" which are held at more than 400 cities and villages all over Japan. This type of festival can be considered as postmodern phenomenon and it is remarkable in that they consist of western dance (jazz dance). They are fruits of the introduction of the western dance into Japan 100 years ago.4. Western Dance and Japanese Dance in the Dance Therapy. So-called dance therapy, which was introduced from USA by Mieko Fuji, uses the technique of modern dance, but TakasawaSchool, which is a school of Japanese dance, has developed the method of rehabilitation dance, which is based on technique of Japanese dance and is applied to people who had suffered from cerebral infarction and others disorders.
