Photo: LIN Yu-quan

A platform devised and directed by choreographer, dancer, and visual artist Hiroaki Umeda to propose values for choreography and dance that will connect to the next generation.
Focusing on the body influenced by the cultural and regional characteristics of the mover (dancer) who has a unique movement vocabulary, we approach the charm of the movement itself. This showing, directed by Umeda, is comprised of each mover’s solo, duet, and synchronized group performances, after immense movement research and multiple feedback sessions with Umeda himself.
