This is the fourth performance by a dance company whose work seeks to open up the possibilities for new forms of dance expression, and leverage the strengths of people with different physicalities. This time around, the troupe will perform a double-bill of works by Didier Théron, a French contemporary dance choreographer and seasoned international performer who has earned high acclaim at ART SETOUCHI and Aichi Triennale; and Takuro Suzuki, a prolific Japanese choreographer who creates theatrical dance pieces.

【Creative Art Executive Committee】
Established in May 1990 to help people with disabilities to express themselves through art and to use this as the starting point for exploring new artistic possibilities. It subsequently began running activities that also included people other than those with disabilities, pursuing new approaches to society by involving a diverse range of people in artistic activities, irrespective of differences in age, gender, or ethnicity. In June 2014, as well as its hands-on activities and art projects, the Committee founded the Integrated Dance Company-Kyo to pioneer new forms of expression through dance, using diverse physiques. It is coming under the spotlight as an initiative that integrates society with art.
