Koichiro Tamura

Koichiro Tamura (born 1992) commanded the attention of the dance world by winning consecutive awards at the 2016 and 2018 Yokohama Dance Collection. Born in Niigata Prefecture, where Noism is based, Tamura went from dance club activities in high school to beginning artistic activities in Kyoto, with its culture rich in opportunities for genre-crossing exchange. As in his representative work “F BRIDGE” which has male dancers in dirty jeans and T-shirts pacing with concrete blocks on their backs, and in the duo piece “goes” which makes use of car tires, Tamura presents works born of the relationship between “object and the body.”
