Rennie Harris and Michael Sakamoto: Flash at The Dance Center of Columbia College Chicago

Written, choreographed and performed by Harris and Sakamoto, Flash is conceived as a “conversation” between the artists’ respective aesthetics (hip hop and butoh), cultural backgrounds (African-American and Japanese-American) and personalities. Flash is an interdisciplinary performance project incorporating butoh and hip-hop dance, multimedia and other theatrical elements to address the intersection of urban and environmental crisis, social resistance and corporeal identity.
