ARTISTS

+81

A dance unit comprising Masahiro Yanagimoto (director, choreography, composition) and artists working on the vanguard both domestically and overseas. Formed in 2011. They are recognized as dancers who communicate freely and skillfully with just their bodies from the world created through their distinctive look and sophisticated dance techniques.
Representative Masahiro Yanagimoto has established a unique contact method based on his eight yeas of experience spent in a German-Dutch dance company. Also well-versed in theater, Yanagimoto extracts stories from individual physical characteristics and incidental dance moves made in everyday life and spins them into a new tale.
