Condors

A dance company formed in 1996 consisting solely of men. Performing in their trademark school uniforms, they create stages filled with their unique worldview through interdisciplinary methods such as dance, live music, puppet shows, video, and skits. They have performed in approximately 30 countries worldwide. Beyond dance, they have numerous appearances and choreography credits in theater, TV, radio, film, and fashion shows. In 2016, they celebrated their 20th anniversary with a special gratitude performance at NHK Hall over two days. They also engage in social contributions through contemporary dance, such as performances by “Handles,” a dance team for people with disabilities originating in Saitama Prefecture, and have recently been focusing on SDGs. They are a notable dance group that stands out in Japan’s performing arts scene.
