New Zealand has a national dance school, and the employment rate in contemporary dance for students who pass through its narrow gates is over 90%. Contemporary dance seems to blend in their life naturally. Although its dance culture has not been yet well known outside the country, their exciting new trend and energy in dance is rapidly growing internationally. The Maori people make up 15% of the population, and they are characterized by their integration and coexistence. Together with them, we will develop a new dance language via Tokyo that speaks to the world. 
This new work, Thin Paper, Autonomy of Synapse, Nomads and Tokyo[-ing], was developed based on their previously collaborated work, Fog, Nerves, Future, Ocean, Hello (echoes). The previous collaboration started by the invitation of Footnote NZ Dance to Yamazaki, and the work toured 8 cities in New Zealand in 2020. Video screening of the work also happened as part of YPAM Fringe Program in 2021 in Japan (organized by Hiwood, co-organized by Dance Base Yokohama).
Excitingly, Yamazaki himself will perform in the performances in Japan of this new work, revealing his own schizophrenic brain processes as if to clarify them to audiences.
After a Japan tour, Thin Paper, Autonomy of Synapse, Nomads and Tokyo[-ing] will be performed at Tempo Dance Festival in Auckland, followed by tours in New Zealand and in the United States in the 2025-26 season.
