Footnote New Zealand Dance
Footnote New Zealand Dance, a New Zealand dance company choreographed by Kota Yamazaki, who presented “Dance Teleportation” at the DaBY opening celebration event and will also participate in this tryout. Since their visit to Japan was postponed due to the spread of infectious disease, the video will be distributed.
◆Kota Yamazaki Statement
Fog, Nerves, Future, Ocean, Halo (Fog, Nerves, Future, Ocean, Halo) explores the innately unstable, multilayered, and skitzophrenic nature of humans and the universe as they act nervously, subtly, and unpredictably. Inspired by the landscape of Wellington, the work was created in pursuit of the spoken word, which hovers like a water bubble, disturbed, forgotten, repeated, and silenced. Through the ever-changing circumstances and performers, I want to expose a new side of Wellington.
