Japan Dance Now at Wexner Center 2/19 - 21 09

See how a new generation of choreographers and dancers there are seeking fresh forms to echo their experience of Japan's accelerated culture.

Nibroll, a Tokyo collective, works in movement, new media, visual art, and fashion. Its members offer excerpts from Coffee, a visually rich work where everyday actions—like drinking a cup of java—trigger sudden aggressive outpourings that represent the societal and behavioral boundaries we often cross. Yoko Higashino, founder of the multimedia performance group Baby Q, performs E/G-Ego Geometria, a stylized and emotionally charged solo that has been a highlight of BABY-Qs video-enlivened repertoire. Based in Osaka, Sennichimae Blue Sky Dance Club is an all-female ensemble whose work retains traces of influences from butoh but with a pop edge and feminist undercurrents.
