DETAILS
DANCE to the Future is a series of programmes featuring contemporary dance works choreographed by dancers of the National Ballet of Japan (NBJ). Selected works from the "NBJ Choreographic Group", a project for nurturing choreographers at the NBJ, will be performed. This season we are pleased to welcome Kojiri Kenta as an advisor. After dancing at the Nederlands Dans Theater, Kojiri has engaged in a wide range of work including his own choreography and hosting workshops. We hope that you will enjoy this pioneering, futuristic choreography by NBJ's dancers.
