Business Overview

Transformation is a prayer and a rebellion
Clothing becomes a flag, a cover, and before long it returns to a mere cloth.
They carry various layers of culture, ideology, gender and ideology, but sometimes they just sway on their bodies as if ignoring them.
When you stare at the moment when the meaning of the stirred cloth becomes a representation again.
The body is already shaking under society and cloth.

Profile

[Water Glasses ∞]
Water Glasses ∞ was formed in 2011 by a group of choreographers, dancers and visual designers. Each member has his or her own base of activities, and the activities of the group are developed through the intermingling of their own creativity. The chairperson, Ayane Nakagawa, studied two different kinds of classical dances (ballet and Japanese dance) from an early age, then street dance, and majored in drama at Obirin University. It is highly valued for its body in which various dances intermingle and its choreography and direction from a theatrical perspective.
