Munetaka Maki (MIKEY)

Munetaka Maki (MIKEY) is attracting attention today for his pursuit of new types of expression in stage performance based in street dance but different from the type of technique-oriented street dance displayed in dance battles or contests. As the pioneers of what he calls a “bizarre mental world” is his group Tokyo Gegegay present theatrical works that overwhelm viewers and free them from the constraints and suppression of daily life. The leader of this group is the charismatic dancer, choreographer and director MIKEY, who is known for the unique aesthetic sensitivity that colors his shows and his collaborations with MAIKO—known as the choreographer for Web sensation Kyary Pamyu Pamyu—performing as the unit Tokyo ☆ Kids and for his “Vanilla Grotesque” productions that children participate in.
