okotanpe è un mio amico giapponese che ho avuto il piacere di incontrare alla EJC 2008, dopo esserci scritti per un po' (anche con Metra, il tipo di Free Dive). E' stato anche applauditissimo all'open stage, e ha fatto parlare un po' di sè perchè la sua esibizione/allenamento alla JCJC è uno dei video di contact più visti su youtube
in questa videointervista ci racconta un po' di sè. Audio in japanese, sottotitoli in francese..ma qualcuno su cj.org ha tradotto in inglese:
" I juggle here, in Tokyo.
I'm Okotanpe.
If you want to see more,
get closer."
" Cj is an art which
put the body in constant contact
with a crystal ball."
"It's neccessary to always think
at the sphere movement,
to focus on the point where the body
are touching it."
"I train first in front of a mirror
then i'm going to the Yoyogi parc
to practise/show my training.
I'm searching to contact
other cjers too, to learn new techniques."
"I've started this discipline
after I had founded it
when I was tripping abroad.
When I was back,
I 've seen that's anybody does it here
so I started up."
"Although I'm Japanese
some people think
that I'm a foreigner
when they've saw my performance.
The foreigner are very receptive
to my shows."
"Because I've growing in Japan,
i'm trying to put some touch
of Japanese dances.
Because of that, my style had
this small Japanese touch."
(grazie gumop)
buona visione!
