Degenerate Art Ensemble (often abbreviated DAE) is a Seattle based multi-art performance company whose work is inspired by punk, comics, cinema, nightmares and fairy tales driven by live music and visceral movement theater and dance.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://degenerateartensemble.com/ )〕 The group was founded and is co-directed by dancer/performer/director Haruko Nishimura and composer/conductor/performer Joshua Kohl. Degenerate Art Ensemble is both a multi-discipline performance company and a band, having performed major dance and live music works, orchestral concerts, rock shows and site-specific street spectacles. “We aim to achieve the intensity of a sacrificial rite to tear away the waking world revealing alternate realities filled with characters that are transformers expressing unimaginable possibilities. We throw audiences into this world, asking them to make sounds en-masse enveloping and activating space. Characters climb over the audience - removing the barriers that normally separate us, creating an environment that arouses our interconnectedness.” -Kohl The group has performed both music shows and dance/theater performance works in 10 countries of North America and Europe in festivals, theaters, clubs and museums.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://degenerateartensemble.com/ )〕 == Style and Influences == Co-founder Nishimura uses her study of Butoh dance and experimental physical theater to create the imagery Degenerate Art Ensemble has come to be synonymous for. As a director and performer, Nishimura has been inspired to explore the relationship between performer’s and the patrons; which can often be experienced in attending one of their performances. Nishimura and the team are inspired by the idea of “collision and conflict—with the goal of awakening and transformation”.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://degenerateartensemble.com/ )〕 Kohl, whom both composes and conducts the music for the group, utilizes both traditional and newly designed instruments to create the unique sounds for DAE and the Big Band Garage Orchestra.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://fryemuseum.org/dae_artist_bios/ )〕 Kohl’s approach to the sound of the group is to create music that is “genere-free”- a sound that crosses boundaries and blurs the lines between classical, punk and indie styles.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://creative-capital.org/grantees/view/653/project:775 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Degenerate Art Ensemble」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
