Movers Platform #4 / ムーバーズ・プラットフォーム #4

“Not ‘dancers,’ but ‘movers.’” Umeda deliberately refrains from fitting dancers into the framework of contemporary dance when they are adorned with unique movement vocabulary of their own that doesn’t conform to conventional dance styles. Instead, he refers to them as "movers." As director, Umeda has shaped the entirety of Movers Platform to maximize the allure of the movers and their ventures beyond established choreographic aesthetics in pursuit of individuality. In its fourth edition, participants also include movers from South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Greece. This collaborative performance of movements born from bodily expressions nurtured by an array of cultures and traditions simultaneously showcases the diversity of our current society and the distinctiveness of different regions—presenting a genuine depiction of the modern era.
