Profile

【GRINDER-MAN】
An artistic group in Tokyo created by director Hitoshi Taguchi and the choreographer/ dancer Makiko Izu. Their aim is to divert the idea of “here and now” by carefully planned sensory impressions based on dance. The group carries out projects for museums, theaters, art festivals and various other opportunities across Japan and abroad. Their art beats generalization and goes far beyond the boundaries of art.
