DANCE DANCE ASIA in Tokyo 2018
Interview with Vince Mendoza and Fabien Prioville
Asia and Europe, street dance and contemporary dance: What emerged from this collaboration?

"Hilatas--The Light that Guides You," a work of performing arts presented in DANCE DANCE ASIA--Crossing the Movements in Tokyo 2018, an event that ran from March 23 to 25, 2018, was created in Bangkok from the end of December 2017 to mid-January 2018. DANCE DANCE ASIA (DDA) is a project that generates works of performing arts with a focus on street dance. Street dance has been drawing considerable attention over these few years as a new means of expression in the performing arts. The project got started in 2014 with the goal of promoting exchange among Asian artists and creating new culture. "Hilatas--The Light that Guides You" is a short performance choreographed and directed by Vince Mendoza from the Philippines. Premiered at DDA December 2016 in Tokyo, the work was presented once again in the following April in Hanoi and Manila. Fabien Prioville, a French dancer/choreographer who previously performed in the Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch, joined as associate choreographer/director and dramaturg in 2018. The team will now present a long version of Hilatas. Three weeks after getting started with the creation, we interviewed Vince Mendoza and Fabien Prioville about their progress with the work, the message conveyed through the work, and the state of the dance arts in each country.
