ELEVENPLAY
Dance company directed by choreographer & art director, MIKIKO. ELEVENPLAY was founded by MIKIKO in 2009, in the hopes of creating dancers who posses highly artistic sense and creativity on top of exquisite techniques, body and spirit. Composed of female dancers from a variety of genre, ELEVENPLAY's methods of expression are diverse, including stages, video works, and still photos. In "MOSAIC", performed in March 2014, the dance installation unfolded the unique world-view of ELEVENPLAY, and was widely praised. In May 2014, we performed, together with Miku Hatsune, the opening act for Lady GaGa's world tour 2014, in which our innovative world of expression, where the virtuality and reality brought out each other's beauty in perfect unity, fascinated Lady GaGa fans at the scene. We have many collaboration pieces with Rhizomatiks, directed by Daito Manabe; in June 2014, we were privileged to present one of such pieces at the world's renowned art festival "Sonar Music Festival 2014". Since then, we have been eagerly broadening our playing field worldwide, as seen in our Mexico Tour in October which was also a large success.
