■ About the "KATE DANCE CAMP" Program
【Pre-homework】
Students listen to the original music used in the workshop in advance and put into words the emotions and images they receive from the music. Additionally, from KATE's single eyeshadow "The Eye Color," which has "desire names" for each color, students select a desire name that matches the image of the song.
Through this process, students confront their own emotions and organize "what they feel and what they want to express."

【On the Day】
Based on the emotions and images shared in the pre-homework, groups are formed on the day with students who have similar sensibilities. This time, the program proceeded with five groups: "Freedom A," "Freedom B," "Energetic," "Deep Passion," and "Wonderland."
① Dance Workshop — Students devise choreography based on images received from the music in each group —
In the first half, professional dancers from CHANGE RAPTURES teach common choreography. In the second half, students themselves devise original choreography according to their group's theme. Instead of just dancing pre-given choreography, they discussed "what they wanted to express" and freely shaped their dance based on the images they felt.
② Makeup Workshop — Students challenge themselves with makeup matching each group's theme and the world view of their dance —
An eyeshadow palette, configured based on the "desire name" chosen by students in their pre-homework from "The Eye Color," is distributed to each student.
According to each group's theme, students discuss with each other, share the image they want to express, and decide on the direction of their makeup.
Afterward, under the advice of makeup artists, they actually practice makeup using the eyeshadow palette. They experienced how impressions change depending on the combination of colors and textures, and experienced the process of dance and makeup connecting as a single expression.
③ Performance Presentation — Expressing the new self discovered through makeup x dance —
After each group announced the theme of their makeup x dance and their specific points of focus, they performed. While using the same music, different themes and interpretations were reflected in each group, giving rise to expressions that revealed individual personalities and emotions.
Finally, a performance by professional dancers belonging to CHANGE RAPTURES was showcased, bringing great excitement to the venue.
＜Comments from Participating Students＞
- My mood lifted when I put on makeup, and I was able to dance happily.
- Through makeup, I became aware of various expressions.
- I used to think makeup and dance were not very related, but surprisingly, I felt that a lot could be expressed with makeup.
- When I wore makeup for dancing, I felt very confident and was able to dance without shyness. I was able to give my 100%, and it was really fun!
- Through this activity, I learned the importance of breaking out of my shell and expressing myself. Until now, I had set limits for myself, but from now on...
