Ney Hasegawa/ FujiyamaAnnette (Tokyo) “Virtual Society”
Director/Choreographer/Composer: Ney Hasegawa
Performers: Reina Okada, Keisuke Okamura, Hikaru Yamamoto
It's not really about the differences between what you and I see,
It’s about the differences of what you want and a collective opinion.
Understand? Well, I guess not.
Dancing fools, watching fools (*Part of an old Japanese proverb)
There is an obvious “distance” in this lyric.
Distance between the dancing person and the observer.
We’re all fools, so let’s all dance (*Other part of the same proverb)
Someone is trying to enthusiastically close the distance between the two,
But what was the purpose of dancing to begin with?
The word “Contemporary”; which era was this terminology for?
What are the losses of not dancing?
By the time I paused to catch my breath, trying to answer these questions, the world was already midnight.
What do people see / think / do?
At this late time of night, we look deep into the abyss of these actions.

Ayaka Ono , Akira Nakazawa (Tokyo) “Balance” (New work)
Performers: Chika Araki, Sayaka Tateyama
Directors: Ayaka Ono, Akira Nakazawa
Documentation: Sakuya Uemura
Produced by: Luna Hanai
Equilibrium continues to be out of balance. Considering dance as a “tool” in society.
We create works around the theme of dance prior to it becoming a Performing Art. In our work Balance, we consider dance as a "tool" in society, exploring the balance of the "exterior" as a method of communication represented by the body and movement, and the "internal" as anomie caused by unsuccessful technique and choreography.

Moe Matsuki (Kyoto) “Tartarus”
Composer/Director/Choreographer: Moe Matsuki
Performer: Tatsunori Imamura, Moe Matsuki
Into the calmly approaching darkness of the cogwheel that hurries slowly…
What does death, emptiness and love mean for Tartarus, the god of Abyss?
Into the calmly approaching darkness of the cogwheel that hurries slowly…

Ayano Yokoyama / lal Banshees (Tokyo) “Snow on the seafloor”
Choreographer/Director: Ayano Yokoyama
Performers: Yu Goto, SHIon, Ayano Yokoyama
Cooperate: Honoka Saiki, Kaori Minami (LICHT-ER)
Artist-in-Residence: Kinosaki International Arts Center(Toyooka-shi)
Looking up to the water’s surface from familiar depths
unable to recall an unknown horizon
sleeping until the sound’s destination
we sense a flower somewhere
The work Snow on the seafloor is an excerpt using the sea as a motif.
While information on faraway places are now readily available,
How much are we really capable of seeing the truth?
The horizon where the ocean and sky meet is visible from many different seas,
yet they are too far away to imagine what lies beyond.
There must be countless invisible flows even in the depths of the sea where I now stand.
The only way to find out is to go into the water —overwhelmed by the obscure,
the truth is; we know absolutely nothing at all.
Chie Nakane, Yuka Uchida (Osaka) “Kurashi / Moving”
Choreographers/Performers: Chie Nakane, Yuka Uchida
Landscapes seen today, tomorrow, and in the everyday
Kurashi indicates daily life.
As a new work in our ongoing project series "Kurashi ", we have been in creation since January 2020, thinking about the migration of physical places. We see dancing and living as a continuous act; dancing happens with a body that remembers the changing events around it, imprinted with transformations. We will approach this performance with thoughtful consideration of the viewers’ gaze, and borrowing their presence.
Through the concept we call “Kurashi”, we would like to share the fact that we are both present in this time, alive together, recognizing those we share the present moment with.

Reisa Shimojima / KEDAGORO (Tokyo) “sky”
Choreographer/Director/Composer: Reisa Shimojima
Performers: Yuta Ito, Saori Koizumi, Aki Nakazawa, Emi Shimura, Mai Akita, Yuka Hirata, Yui Mizuguchi, Akane Mizusawa, Hasumi Miyamoto, Akane Kigoro, Reisa Shimojima
Supported by: Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse No.1 Yokohama Dance Collection
This work is based on The United Red Army case that lynched and killed comrades under the name of "unification". It is my own interpretation on the ideologies inspired by this incident.
The Japanese United Red Army lynched and murdered their own under the
guise of "unification". This incident struck and culled me to launch my own ideological creation as a choreographer. During the creation period, I filtered through and solidified vague ideas into ideologies, and have been preparing for this performance with my own comrades. I think of it as a choreographer's mission.
However, in reality, the act may be completely meaningless. I yearn to devote myself to the romantic act of “dancing”. At the same time, I want to be a hero, a revolutionary warrior.
*Background history: In the late 1960s, many students in Japan participated in radical revolutionary movements. One of the extremist student groups, the "United Red Army", started a community life in the mountains to become revolutionary warriors. However, as a result, many massacres occurred between comrades.
Inspired by this incident, my aim was to create a work based on group psychology; to consider the types of group psychologies that could exist in a dance company.
Ayano Yokoyama / lal Banshees
Choreographer’s biography
A Nagano prefecture native, Yokoyama launched an all-women dance company lal banshees in 2016. She has developed a unique choreography style based on hip-hop and modern dance techniques, focusing on deriving movements of the body without being confined. She has intentionally been focusing on the female body, releasing works featuring neutral gender expressions and deep relationships between sound and movement. She embodies a music-focused dance that imaginatively isolates mundane moments, while bringing them back to reality.

Chie Nakane, Yuka Uchida
Choreographer’s biography
Nakane and Uchida founded their collective and started collaboratively creating works in their second term of Domestic Dance Study Abroad @ Kobe, sponsored by NPO Dance Box. Since 2018, based on the concept that everyday living leads directly to dance, they created the project series "Livelihood" that aims to share time and space with the objects present around them, and the people who come and go. Through multiple performances, they allow the work to transform gradually.
Reisa Shimojima / KEDAGORO
Choreographer’s biography
Born in Kagoshima prefecture, Shimojima began studying dance at the age of seven focusing on Yosakoi dance, a unique style of Japanese dance performed at festivals throughout the country. She studied contemporary dance under Kuniko Kisanuki at J. F. Oberlin University, and formed the dance company KEDAGORO in 2013, for which she choreographs and produces work. Based on the idea of "dance as a method to explore the world," she learns about the world through meeting people and expresses her ideas through choreography. Her renowned solo work Monkey in a diaper has been performed at numerous festivals in Japan and overseas. Shimojima is the recipient of the 8th Elsur Foundation New Face Award for Contemporary Dance.
