One of Japan's most exciting artists, Hiroaki Umeda, perfomrs this weekend at Scotiabank Dance Centre as part of the PUSH Festival. His body movements borrow from both hip hop, butoh, while responding to pulsating sound and light. His work blurs the lines between visual art, dance, mime, and much more. His Western Canadian debut is a double bill of solos: while going to a condition and Accumulated Layout.
