Coronet Inside Out: Fukiko Takase

We are delighted to present an exclusive interview with the extraordinary New York born Japanese dancer/choreographer Fukiko Takase along with a taste of her piece 1 0 0 1 and an insight into its creation.

1 0 0 1 is a collaboration between Takase and award-winning composer Dustin O’Halloran. The electronics-forward, existential theater/dance performance asks the question, “as we approach the age of AI, how will a new form of consciousness manifest inside a body? What will happen to our soul?”
