Third edition of “Movers Platform”, a platform and dance performance initiated and directed by Hiroaki Umeda, choreographer, dancer and visual artist, to develop choreography that may reach the next generation and to propose different values of dance. In cooperation with KIAC, they will accept dancers (movers) with unique movements which may not be able to be categorized in conventional genres, or bodies that reflect the contemporaneity from Asian countries where diverse identities are present. Succeeding the residency, they will organize a showing in Kinosaki and a presentation in Yokohama.
