A New York-based, Japanese-born choreographer who has lived
everywhere from France to Senegal, Kota Yamazaki's mind and
movement seem to contain the world. It only makes sense,
then, that "travelling, teaching, and exploring" would become
the mission of "Kota Yamazaki Fluid hug hug" — Kota's
ambitious young dance troupe that mixes butoh, hip-hop, and
classical ballet into cocktails of expression. |

Yoga is the starting point for this French-trained choreographer
who knows what it means to meld the body with space. Through
a style dedicated to "micro-movements" demanding fierce concentration
on breath, Gourfink's method is slow, meditative and always
mindful of the place it inhabits. What results is a felt
choreography — and one that occasionally invites the
audience to join in the action. |

Larrieu

His most famous dance was staged in a swimming pool as a
kind of spectacular underwater modern ballet (Waterproof,
1986). It was widely considered to be one of the standout
moments in a decade of French dance and Daniel Larrieu hasn't
stopped since. With influences both literary and cinematic,
Larrieu's most recent work, 10-20-10-20-10, is drier
behind the ears but retains a commitment to slow, strangely
beautiful movement that betrays a trace of the submerged. |
