     Miss Nagamine, Who will perform her dance "Dojoji" 
        on Friday at Avery Fisher Hall in New York, is one of the most remarkable 
        dancers to appear in Japan in decades | a maverick with enormous energy. 
        The opening steps of "Dojoji" choreographed by her as a solo, 
        and set to a Kabuki score with 16 musicians and chorus People, are a deliberate 
        attack on the Noh tradition. by Henry Scottstokes  |
