Up-and-coming UK company visits Japan to show a captivating mix of energetic dance and reverberating percussion
This performance series was installed with the aim to showcase next-generation performing arts as represented by specially invited budding young artists from all corners of the globe. This year, we are happy to introduce Hofesh Shechter, a choreographer who relocated to the UK after working with Israel's own Batsheva Dance Company, and in recent years has won high acclaim as an internationally awarded choreographer and creator of pieces commissioned by leading theatres around the world. Also outside the realm of dance, Shechter has been attracting attention for his choreographies for popular TV plays among other things. On his visit to Japan, Shechter will unveil his latest production that is set to define a new set of values in contemporary dance through a compelling mixture of amazing high-tension dance and groovy live percussion.
