Push Pull Matters – Yohei Hamada
Push Pull Matters is a performance about standardized ways of moving the body throughout different cultures and time periods, focusing on the relationships between bodies and tools. The audience will see dancers exploring the movements by assembling and disassembling wearable structures; extended bodies made of rope, fishing nets, and wooden sticks. Dancers from different cultural backgrounds dance with the structure and it is consequently processed, dismantled, and respectfully misused in an attempt to discover a new standard.
