| Research Abstract |
This research project examined the role of physical movements and gestures in the performance of Okinawan uta-sanshin and koto music. Movements were examined not only from the perspective of sound-production, but were also observed in the teaching process and as a way of imagining group identities. Physical movements were recorded as video footage, and this footage was analysed. In order to assess how performers understand and verbalize about physical movements, interviews with performers were carried out. Published musical treatises and notations were also examined to analyze the way in which physical movements are theorized in Okinawan music society.
