"With the Lines"

"With the Lines"

Experimenting with the Evolving Relationship between Choreography and Lighting

This work was created and presented as part of “SandD LAB. 2026: Creating Dialogue – Motion and Light” (organized by SandD; hosted by SandD and Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse No.1).
Based on a dialogue between choreographer and lighting designer, the piece was developed over a five-day creation period and presented as a work-in-progress showing.

Starting from the visual concept of a “line,” the piece evolved through the integration of ideas from the stage lighting designer, expanding into “line → shape → structured form.”
Through this process, the work explores the shifting relationship between the dancers’ bodies and stage lighting.
