By examining the relationship between body, movement, action, and dance, we ask the unique movements and essence of the human body. And we find the emergence of dance.

Phoreography- Photographs as choreographic scores

Through these projects, diverse bodies come and go, and share their own “time” (rhythm).

Following the words “Uzumekuru” (swirling & tingling) and “Aru”(exist) , movement is born, and sometimes we take a detour into “choreography,” experiencing the moment when movement becomes dance.
