Intangible cultural heritage (ICH) plays a crucial role in transmitting human culture, knowledge, skills, and traditions, enhancing social cohesion, and fostering cultural diversity and creativity. Among ICH , dance stands out as a significant form that embodies regional history and culture, conveying unique characteristics through non-verbal communication. However, regional dances face extinction due to factors like population decline. It is imperative to preserve regional identity and establish a foundation that enables the next generation to inherit, understand, and respect ICH. Our research aims to clarify the connections between regions, such as cultural transmission, movement preservation, and the influence on contemporary dance, by collecting ICH in collaboration with each region and investigating the relationships between dances both within and across regions.
The transborder researcher I aspire to be is one who collaborates across borders and academic disciplines to create innovative technologies and cultures. Through interdisciplinary projects centered on dance, I aim to explore the intersections of human-computer interaction (HCI), the humanities, and the arts, and to develop technologies that enhance human life from multiple perspectives. In the future, I also seek to contribute to building an ecosystem that supports sustainable research activities, positioning myself as a researcher with a broader social impact.
