Japón (2008)
–choreography–
Made through a collaborative process with dancers from the Ochanomizu University Dance Club (Tokyo), ‘Japón’ is a piece spawned out of misunderstandings, wrong translations, preconceptions, language barriers, transliterations and all kinds of equivocal communicative strategies. Trying to accept the necessity of these accidents and to embrace the dynamism of communicative processes, ‘Japón’ attempts to exploit the creative potential of these situations.
