Condors

A dance company formed in 1996 made up entirely of men. 

Dressed in their trademark school uniforms, they create a stage full of their own unique worldview through a cross-genre approach that combines dance, live music, puppetry, visual image, and comedy. Performed not only in Japan but also in more than 30 countries around the world. In addition to dance, they have performed and choreographed for many plays, TV, radio, movies, and fashion shows. In 2016, they celebrated their 20th anniversary and held a two day solo performance at NHK Hall as the 20th Anniversary Super Special Grand Appreciation Performance. In addition to contributing to society through contemporary dance through a variety of approaches, including performances by “Handles,” a dance team for the disabled from Saitama Prefecture, the company has recently been focusing on the SDGs. A remarkable dance group that is unique in the Japanese performing arts world.  http://www.condors.jp/
