Furi

Overview

Japanese dance can be divided into three main groups: 'mai', 'furi' and 'odori' [all translate to 'dance' in English]. The title of this piece 'Furi' [also meaning 'choreography'] was named after a desire to open up the dynamism of this type of dance to its original meaning. The recorded music was composed for this performance by Hattori Koichi, conducted by Tezuka Yukinori, and performed by Orchestra Sonore, while the artwork was created by the at the time up-and-coming artist James Kawada. Ten female and twelve male dancers were performed the piece, dressed in simple leotards and tights.
