Biography
A performance company that through hyper-experimental music and
dance transforms traditional genres into multi-dimensional explosive
and expressive works. This hard-edged, delicate and complex visual
music and dance performance company has earned rave reviews throughout
the US and Europe. A performance company that reflects our multi-faceted
and multi dimensional culture.
DAE’s work ranges from full theatrical stage productions
to intimate concerts, always invading all of the senses and the
depths of the imagination
DAE is known to morph and transform – a dance company,
punk/jazz band, a 45 piece orchestra - the group never losing
its ability to electrify an audience and create experiences that
bring audiences to new territories of perception. At its core
DAE’s key artists are constantly in a state of invention
and re-invention – always guided by a strong unified creative
vision.
Degenerate Art Ensemble harnesses the forces of visionary dancer/choreographer
Haruko Nishimura and a team of collaborating composers –
creating music intensive dance theater and intensely visual music
performance.
All of DAE’s dance theater works, from small chamber versions,
to full main-stage productions, are performed with rich live music
scores – the musicians fully visually and theatrically into
the works. Many of DAE’s works are available in both chamber
and main stage versions.
The group has performed over 500 shows in 10 countries and explored
such a variety of formats as music, dance, theater, film scoring,
recording, sculpture, painting and performance art. One of the
expressed goals of the group is to “explode the boundaries
of art”, and explode them it has, constantly seeking to
challenge and renew itself and its audience to create a never-before
felt experience at each performance.
