Fascinating Physicality
“DEAD 1+” by Ko&Edge Co.
|
|
|
|
Formed
by one of the leading figures in Japan’s butoh scene, Ko Murobushi, and
three young male Japanese dancers, Ko&Edge Co. has won frantic
applauses for its performances in Japan and overseas. The ensemble
excels at creating an intense and intriguing sense of physicality that
transcends human form to visual imagery. In “DEAD 1+”, the dancers,
with their amazing articulation of body, muscles and joints, create a
series of images that capture the audience’s imagination.

Comical Action/Reactions
“To Norichan” by Shintai Hyogen Circle
|
|
|
|
|
With Yutaka Joraku in the pivotal role, Shintai Hyogen is a free-formed
dance ensemble that experiments with sheer physical expressions that at
times amount to dancers actually throwing themselves at each other, or
engaging in some physical entanglements in their signature comical
actions.
In “To Norichan”, two skinny loincloth-clad dancers compete like sumo
wrestlers to outwit each other in a hilarious series of physical games.
With the playfulness like that of a child and a mischievous disregard
for the rules of dance, the two performers complement, copy, trick,
tease and engage with each other in this fun- and imagination-filled
physical dance work.

Poetry of Everyday Life
“How to Move Forward to the North-northeast” by Ho Ho-Do
|
|
|
|
The
155cm dance duo “Ho Ho-Do” was formed by Mika Arashiki and Mari
Fukutome. Their work is created through their delicate sensitivities
and impulses they feel in everyday life. They adapt not only
ordinary dance techniques but also small, and some might say trivial
gestures from daily life, as motifs of movement to create pieces
showing their poetic world-view. “How to Move Forward to the
North-northeast” has been showed in 11 cities in Japan and abroad. Ho
Ho-Do uses the wind blowing from a huge running fan as a motif to show
a collection of continuous small dance like moments.

Moving in and out of the Rules of Dance and Movement
“NAHANAHA” by Masako Yasumoto
|
|
|
|
| Yasumoto
is a versatile dancer. She has made the most of any chance to dance, no
matter in dance performances, theatre productions, TV, or concerts. She
was picked as the best performer at the Internet Drama Award 2003. In
2004, her own choreography has received the National Advisory Panel
Award at the former Rencontres Choreographiques Internationales de
Seine-Saint-Denis, and the outstanding performance award in the dance
section at Tokyo Competition. In “Nahanana” she jumps into series of
physical transformations on stage by tapping into her precise,
well-articulate physical vocabulary. |

Bridging the Traditional and the Contemporary
Local Guest Artist Performance
“Kratai Kra Deaw” by LifeWork Dance Company
|
|
|
|
| Pichet
Klunchun bridges the language of classical and contemporary Thai dance
with a sensibility that keeps the heart and wisdom of the form’s
conventions. He was trained from the age of 16 in Thai classical mask
dance, khon, with Chaiyot Khummanee, one of the best Khon masters in
Thailand. He will lead members of LifeWork Dance Company to present
“Kratia Kra Deaw”, a contemporary dance depicting some people’s
die-hard stubbornness. |
