ANTIBODIES Collective

Japan/dancer/choreographer/musician/director
Founded by Kyoto-based artists Toshio Kajiwara (musician/director) and Yoko Higashino (dancer/choreographer) in 2015. At the center of its conception is the experience of Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011, where they have begun developing new inter-disciplinary work models for social-dynamic collab- oration across spectrum of disciplines and boundaries. Collectively it examines how art and life, memory and history, individuals and society might relate, interact and intersect through series of researches and experiments that are designed to culminate into performance events, community workshops and oth- er practices that contributes to larger social and educational structures.

With over 100 artists and staff members on board, ANTIBODIES Col- lective’s latest production entitled “Entropical Paradise” attempted to creatively occupy in its entirety a remote island in Setouchi Inland Sea called Inujima, and has achieved great successes both in 2018 and 2019.
Members of the collective from all corners of Japan with wide range of focuses will be coming together in Kinosaki to investigate and to formulate ideas for their new multi-disciplinary performance piece. All aspects of creative possibilities including scenography, choreography, sound performance and beyond will be explored during this residency program. The performance is scheduled to tour in Japan and abroad from 2021 onwards.
