idevian crew “Blind Spot”
Choreographed and Directed by Shigehiro IDE
Artists-in-residence at Nishi-Sugamo Arts Factory from its opening in 2004 until 2010, the Shigehiro Ide-led idevian crew will grace the venue's finale with their new work. Featuring ingenious set design by Takuya Aoki, four dancers “living” in a blind spot within a room-cum-stage will mix their bodies with video and music in a depiction of their individual daily lives.
