Upcoming

Fog, Nerves, Future, Ocean, Hello (echoes)

Commissioned and performed by Footnote New Zealand Dance, premiering in 2020

ABOUT

Fog, Nerves, Future, Ocean, Hello (echoes) portrays the oceanic universe of neurotic, delicate and unpredictable human behaviors while exploring slippery, multi-layered and schizophrenic innate nature of man’s being. Inspired by landscape of Wellington, this work also seeks speaking words of interruption, oblivion, repetition and silence that float in space like water bubbles. Ultimately, this work attempts to reveal another dimension of Wellington through ever-transforming state and body of performers.

The work will start touring in New Zealand in the mid-October, 2020.
Japan premiere is scheduled in February 2021, at Dance Base Yokohama.
More details coming soon.

Ongoing PROJECT

Dance Teleportation (2020)

Commissioned and presented by Dance Base Yokohama (Japan)

ABOUT

Dance Teleportation: Choreography Beyond Space and Time, with floating wprds and bodies is a new choreographic method and installation that emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic when Yamazaki and dancers could not physically get together to rehearse. Based on Yamazaki's languaged-based choreography, each dancer delivered their "dance" using multiple media sources.

*The exhibition is on until September 13, 2020 at Dance Base Yokohama (DaBY)
