A highlight of one of the last sessions of the Chip Chop Community in 2023. These talented dancers are from all over the world and ,twice a month, flock to Yoyogi Park to dance, practice, talk, and form bonds with on another and the new-comers who are either traveling or moving to Tokyo.
Trace from Australia with Kano from Ishigaki Japan. A truly dangerous combination. This was filmed with the intention of showing how deep hip-hop dance really is. These two women are leading figures in their communities and having them both in one video, showcasing their knowledge and understnging of the style, and their styles within the style…beautiful.
Chi is becoming a big name in the choreography scene in Tokyo. She always has such a strong vision with the pieces she creates. This was the first peice I was able to record for her with these other talented dancers. this was also the first time I recorded a piece of this size inside of a studio. It was definitely a challenge but we made it work.
A solo of an exctremely talented dancer with a deep story. She is also the Co-Founder of “Chicken ‘n Rice” and “Chip Chop Sessions”. Her movement is so unique so capturing it in this setting was a huge highlight for me.
