Leni-Basso has brought new life to the Japanese dance scene and joined in the Images of Asia project in Denmark. Evoking associations with the city of Tokyo through electric scenery, dizzying changes in music and video, and a series of movements rich in scripted coordination and improvisation, Leni-Basso performances employ four miniature cameras in a dynamic intersection of dance, video, light and sound. Drawing enthusiastic attention wherever they toured as a new turn in the performing arts of Asia, Leni-Basso enjoyed the acclamation of applause and stamping feet.

Leni-Basso
Formed in 1994, the Leni-Basso performance is a spectacle that stimulates all five senses with a melange of video, lighting and music complementing the central physical movement. At the core of Leni-Basso activity is Akiko KITAMURA, whose acute and stylish choreography is winning attention in Japan and overseas. Leni-Basso engage in joint productions with other companies and energetic workshops in addition to performances of their own pieces. Their primary works include "Slowly Slow for Drive" and "Quarterback Trace".
