Rose-Coloured Dance

Throughout the early to mid-60's Tatsumi HIJIKATA choreographed wild performances he called "dance experiences". In 1965 experimental filmmaker Takahiko IIMURA became a part of the performance. Using a handheld 8mm camera IIMURA positioned himself both off and on stage, often moving along with HIJIKATA and Kazuo OHNO to create what IIMURA would later call a "cine-dance".
