Specially designed for parents and kids, this fun workshop that combines dance with sport will be conducted by Namstrops, a group of dance artists who are qualified physical education teachers in Japan. They explore the boundaries of sport, art and education, and produce various works with a combination of these disciplines. In collaboration with University of Miyazaki and Professor Rumiko Takahashi, they run a not-for-profit organization, Miyazaki C-Dance Center, which is a leading organization of a unique dance program called "Creative Dance." The program has been included in the Japanese physical education cirriculum, titled Contemporary Artistic Physical Education.
Since its establishment in 2006 in Japan, Namstrops has been active both domestically and internationally. They have been invited to present their programs in South Korea, China, UK, Estonia and the Sibiu International Theatre Festival 2014 in Romania. They were also finalists in the Yokohama Dance Collection Ex in 2008, 2011 and 2012.
