Dance collaboration between Kage physical theatre and Japanese artists in Osaka
Combining dance, spectacle, illusion and sound design to create a voyeuristic dance experience, Ink promises to reveal hidden pleasures and explore relationships between fantasy and the live body through explosive, original choreography. Video artist Takahashi Kyota uses ink and tattoo to create a complex backdrop of projected images.
Kage Physical Theatre
Founded in 1996 by Kate Denborough and Gerard van Dyck to present rich and humorous dance theatre, Kagefs works include Kage (1997), Contamination (1998), Asphyxiate (1998), No (Under)Standing Anytime (2000), This Side Up, choreographed by Denborough and commissioned by Chunky Move (2000), Nowhere Man for Melbourne International Festival of the Arts (2003) and Headlock (2006).
