Co-directed by Nanako Matsumoto and Kengo Nishimoto, team chiipro creates performances that explore the critical nature of the body and gestures. In recent years they have been practicing a research-based dance projects which interweaves multiple contexts evoked by a particular dance step or gesture and the physical sensations and memories of the performers. Their choreography draws movements from specific contexts, layering bodily sensations, personal memories, and collective memory to invite audiences into a physical dialogue about bodies living in contemporary times. Rather than simply revisiting history, their approach engages with vestiges—or blanks left behind—to create new relationships and spaces. Major works include "Kokyo Running Man" (2019, 2020), "Kyoto Imaginary Waltz" (KYOTO EXPERIMENT 2021 AUTUMN, 2021), "Menstruation Sumo Dance" (KYOTO EXPERIMENT 2022, 2022), ”nanako by nanako”(2024).
