Cutting Edge dance from Japan, Taiwan and Korea

Starting Friday, January 9, the Japan Society will offer its annual favorite display of the most cutting-edge dance from Japan, Taiwan and Korea. Highlights include world premiere from butoh great Ko Murobushi for his company of three male dancers Ko & Edge Co.; chelfitsch Theater Company’s dance-theater duet Air Conditioner, which was a finalist in the 2005 Toyota Choreography Awards; and the violent and striking solo work E/G created and performed by Yoko Higashino, winner at the 2004 Toyota Choreography Awards and founder of Baby-Q, with electric guitar improviser Toshio Kajiwara. You can see clips of the performances in the video below. Something about the video is giving us nightmares though.
