What contemporary dance choreographers actually do is not common knowledge. They are also writers, directors, philosophers, adventurers, and so on. Their dance sometimes works as an antenna receiving signals from society, and sometimes it is medium searching for truth. “Choreographers” is a series where we delve deeper into this relationship through performance and discussion.

This first installment of this series features the three winners of KYOTO CHOREOGRAPHY AWARD (KCA) 2020. The season’s hottest choreographers showcase their different worlds on stage. We recommend these award-winning performances for those new to contemporary dance.
