Calling all experienced male dance professionals!
Co. Yamada Un is set to launch its fourth-year project in Malaysia: a dance piece featuring an all-male Malaysian cast. The programme includes locally-held auditions, before successful applicants proceed to Japan for rehearsals. They will then return to Malaysia for a series of final performances, which will also bring together the full extent of Co. Un Yamada’s ranks for a double-bill event.
“one?piece” was first performed in Tokyo in 2004. This famous work, choreographed and directed by Un Yamada, has toured worldwide and been performed by various female dancers. However, the Malaysian version will solely comprise male dancers. This reworking had just launched last year.
