osmosism” performance / workshop
蕊 is a collective founded in 2021 by choreographer/dancer Saori Hara and contemporary artist/performance artist Yuki Kobayashi. This first edition, entitled “osmosism,” will explore the intersection of contemporary thought and physical expression.
In November 2022, as part of the “Evening of Philosophy 2022” at the Institut Français Tokyo, the group will present a work in response to the book by Emanuele Coccia, known for his “Philosophy of Plant Life.
In preparation for this performance, DaBY resident artist, Saori Hara, will spend about a month creating with three DaBY resident dancers at Dance Base Yokohama starting in November.

The two artists are working from different approaches, with the theme of “osmosis” extracted from Emanuele Coccia’s “Philosophy of Plant Life” as their common core. Yurika Kuremiya, as the dramaturg of the collective as a whole, will attempt to interpenetrate the words and the body.
