YOHEI HAMADA 踊る人/dance artist

Anima Choir is a landscape-sensitive dance performance led by dance artist Yohei Hamada, with sculptures created by visual artist Daniela Bergschneider, created in dialogue with Arctic landscapes.
 

The kinetic sculptures are animated by the performers, creating a sensory choir of movement, sound, and visual materials.
 

The dancers work collectively, and the performance is shaped through dialogue with the place where it is created, and presented. Through movement, breath, and sound, a living encounter emerges between performers, landscape, and audience. Wind, terrain, distance, and voices become part of the choreography, influencing how the work unfolds from site to site. 
 

The landscape is not simply a backdrop, but an active part of the performance’s dramaturgy, rhythm, and movement.
 

Anima Choir moves between contemporary dance, visual art, and sound art.
