• The funky, playful company KIKIKIKIKIKI, led by butoh-trained Kitamari, presents Omedeto (Congratulations) [U.S. Debut]
• Masako Yasumoto’s coquettish and frenetic male/female duet slap, pat, suck. [U.S. Debut]

• The hip-hop inspired LDP (Laboratory Dance Project), with their deliciously dynamic and unruly all-male group dance No Comment [U.S. Debut]

from TAIWAN
