こんにちは､こんばんは､おはようございます
雪の先々週末から春陽気の先週末そして雨の月曜日から
また冷たい空気が戻った火曜日
新しい一週間も明けましておめでとうございます……
昨日元気さんの舞台の観劇に続き今年二作品目の舞台観劇
紺さんの教える生徒達の公演を観劇させていただきました
昨年僕の手術前に僕の本「私はあの日UFOを見た」を公演した生徒達の一学年目の修了公演
弟も夏前に見た生徒達の公演
紺さんの演出
朝の自分の方の病院から間に合うかわからなかったけれど何とか間に合い観劇出来ました
劇場は18の頃の自分がこけら落とし公演で使用させていただいた劇空間
その頃他の生徒は夏休み､そんな中がむしゃらに朝から晩までこの空間に入り､つかこうへい劇団とヒラタオフィスそして工学院のトリプルコラボレーションのオーディションに受ける気無かったけど､担任に言われるまま行ってみたら一学年俳優科から二人だけ合格し
ダンスにお芝居に朝から晩まで贅沢に夏中明け暮れた思い出の空間
そんな思い出と共に
まだ若い学生達の一歩を夏前の公演で感動を生んだ「私はあの日UFOを見た」で僕の創った登場人物達を熱演してくれた子達の
新しい一歩を作品を微笑ましく感じさせていただきました……
これからも真っ直ぐあたたかな気持ちで進んでいってほしいなとキラキラしている生徒達の目を見て思いました……
そして観劇にいらしていた僕が18の頃講師としてお芝居を教えてくださった先生にもお会い出来､もうおじいちゃんなのですが……
手術前UFO公演の後でハグして「頑張れよ」と
力強いパワーをくれた先生に改めて会い再度ハグして完全に治してまた舞台をと……
あたたかな笑顔と声をいただきました……
他の先生方にも挨拶したかったのですが､卒業公演シーズンで皆さん忙しそうで
でも同期で学校で講師をしている友にも会えて
嬉しい時間でした……
友そして恩師達との再会も叶い紺さんにも
「ご無事で何よりです」と声をくれた生徒達にもありがとうです……
その後は弟の病院へ
最近は何とか距離を縮められればと色々と近道を探っている中
気づけば工業地帯へ出てしまい
久しぶりの川崎港周辺
MACHINE CIVILIZATIONそしてBIG BROTHERのロケ地を巡ってきました……
中々来ない場所だけどやっぱりそのパイプラインや煙突､その空気には圧倒されます
そして先週は少し新たな近道を発見し
5分ほど弟の病院までの距離を縮めることが出来ました……
何かあった時すぐに駆けつけられるように
今も近道探しの真っ最中です
舞台もダンスも絵も人生も近道なんて嫌いだし一歩一歩遠回りしてでも踏みしめて生きたい人間ですし､そんなもの自分の人生にひとつもありませんが
死ぬ前に最高の作品を創れるよう
これからも近道無しで生きていきます｡
ただ真っ直ぐ馬鹿みたいに生きたいです｡
学生さん達にも今の目を忘れず真っ直ぐ近道無しで進んで行ってほしいものです……
18の頃と変わらない自分
強く優しくあたたかく……
新しい一週間も小さな宝物を探し
優しい風を感じ行きましょう生きましょう
いつも心に優しい風が吹きますように……
今週も､めいいっぱい精一杯あたたかく
生きよう｡

Short Way : Familiar scenery of industrial areas.
Hello, good evening, good morning
From the snowy weekend before last, to the spring and sunny weather from last weekend, and from rainy Monday.
Tuesday the cold air returned
Happy new week…
This is the second stage play I saw this year after watching Genki-san’s play yesterday.
I watched a performance by Mr. Kon’s students.
Last year, before my surgery, the students performed my book “I Saw a UFO That Day” at the end of their first year.
My younger brother also saw the students’ performance last summer.
Mr. Kon’s performance
I wasn’t sure if I would make it in time from my hospital in the morning, but I managed to make it in time to see the theater.
The theater is the theater space that I used for the opening performance when I was 18.
At that time, the other students were on summer vacation, and I was in this space from morning till night, and I had no intention of auditioning for the triple collaboration between Tsuka Kouhei Theater Company, Hirata Office, and Kogakuin, but when I went as my homeroom teacher told me, only two students from the first-year acting department passed.
A memorable space where you can spend the whole summer enjoying dance and plays from morning till night.
With those memories
The young students took their first step in the performance of “I Saw a UFO That Day,” which was a moving performance just before the summer.The children passionately performed the characters they created.
This new step made me smile at the work…
Looking at the sparkling eyes of the students, I thought, “I hope they will continue to move forward with a warm heart.”
Also, while I was at the theater, I was able to meet the teacher who taught me acting when I was 18 years old, and now he’s an old man…
After the UFO performance before the surgery, I hugged him and told him, “Good luck.”
I met the teacher who gave me such strong power and hugged her again, and I was able to fully recover and perform on stage again…
I received warm smiles and voices…
I wanted to say hello to the other teachers, but they all seemed busy during the graduation performance season.
But I was also able to meet a friend of mine who is also a lecturer at my school.
It was a happy time…
A reunion with friends and mentors will also come true for Kon-san.
I would also like to thank the students who said, “I’m glad you’re safe.”
After that, I went to my brother’s hospital.
Lately, I’ve been looking for shortcuts to somehow shorten the distance between us.
Before I knew it, I was in an industrial area.
Around Kawasaki Port after a long time
I visited the filming locations of MACHINE CIVILIZATION and BIG BROTHER…
It’s a place I don’t often visit, but I’m still overwhelmed by the pipelines, chimneys, and atmosphere.
And last week I discovered a new shortcut.
I was able to shorten the distance to my brother’s hospital by about 5 minutes…
So that you can rush immediately if something happens
I’m still in the process of looking for a shortcut.
I don’t like shortcuts when it comes to stage, dance, painting, or life; I’m a person who wants to live my life to the fullest, even if it means detouring step by step, and I don’t have anything like that in my life.
So that I can create my best work before I die.
I will continue to live without shortcuts.
I just want to live like an idiot.
I want the students to remember their current perspective and move forward without taking shortcuts…
I’m still the same as when I was 18
Strong, gentle and warm…
Look for small treasures during the new week
Let’s go and feel the gentle wind, let’s live
May the wind always blow in your heart…
This week too, I will do my best to stay warm.
Let’s live.
