Hiroaki Umeda’s choreography and eye for digital design have been celebrated throughout Europe, Asia, South America and the U.S.
Critically acclaimed for his almost impossibly fluid movement style bordering on street dance – subtle, radical, and provocative – his dance pieces frequently synthesize ultramodern video, dramatic lighting and crackling soundscapes as interlocking components interacting with moving bodies on stage. Now, this slick avant-garde mastermind brings a double bill of his latest cutting-edge projects from Tokyo to Philadelphia.
Moving State 1, performed by four protege female dancers from Umeda’s Somatic Field Project who have fully absorbed his sleek, oiled movements and assimilating, Umeda’s signature solo performance, operate within a dance aesthetic where refined physicality merges with cyberart.
The U.S. tour of Hiroaki Umeda: assimilating and Moving State 1 is produced by Japan Society with grant support from the Harkness Foundation for Dance. Additional support is provided by Sowaka.
