Footnote New Zealand Dance are thrilled to be invited to perform the new work by Kota Yamazaki 山崎広太 in Japan this October.

Thin Paper, Autonomous Synapses, Nomads, Tokyo(ing)  薄い紙、自律のシナプス、遊牧民、トーキョー（する） reveals a new sense of space and time - intersecting people, cultures, landscapes, and moments. With choreography as poetic as its title, this work evokes deep emotion through attention to detail.

Kota Yamazaki 山崎広太 and Footnote explore the changing and fluid nature of human identity, freeing it from socially preconditioned notions of self. Throughout the work, words float and scatter, collected from the scenery of Wellington and young people’s hang-out spots in Tokyo. 

Japanese choreographer Kota Yamazaki returns to Footnote New Zealand Dance, drawing on his previous 2020 piece Fog, Nerves, Future, Ocean, Hello (Echoes) 霧、神経、未来、オーシャン、ハロー(木霊する) to develop this striking new work. Footnote New Zealand Dance bring this global collaboration to Nagoya and Tokyo in October.
