1+1 is a collaborative performance examining cultural exchange. Each time the presenter/programmer would arrange a local dancer-performer to work with the dancer-choreographer. From knowing a name to seeing an image, meeting the real person to sharing the stage, the project chronicles and reflects on the journey of how two dancer-performers make exchange and work together. Comparison and competition, similarities and differences, manipulation and accommodation. Through interaction and improvisation within a fixed structure, the two collaborators reveal on stage a creative process in which one sees himself through the reflection of others.

1+1 has been presented in Morishita Studio (Tokyo), Cartier Fondation (Paris) and Kobe International Dance Festival.
