“The stage becomes a Zen garden, and the dancers are polished stones
placed harmoniously within it.” - Times Union
Contemporary choreographer, Kota Yamazaki (2007 Bessie Award winner),
newest work (glowing) is inspired by the great modern day novelist
Jun’ichiro Tanizaki’s essay In’ei Raisan (In Praise of Shadows), which
describes Japan’s appreciation of the refined beauty found in darkness
and shadows, Yamazaki re-examines the fundamentals of butoh, the art
form in which he received his training. In an unparalleled collaboration
with African dancers, American architect Robert Kocik, lighting
designer Kathy Kaufmann and Tokyo-based composer Kohji Setoh, six
dancers will perform within a set constructed to evoke the soft lighting
and dim interior of a traditional Japanese house. 8 p.m.
