binbinFactory, led by artists Satoshi Haga and Rie Fukuzawa, creates interdisciplinary performances that merge dance, theatre, and visual art to explore the connection between emotion, memory, and physical expression. Their work draws from diverse cultural and movement traditions, including mime, Tai Chi, Balinese dance, and Japanese theatre, to tell stories that resonate across borders. Their performances have been featured in numerous venues and festivals, including DanceNow, Performance Mix Festival, and Le Festival de Bargemon in France. In addition to their performance work, they have been awarded several residencies and grants, including Eva Dean Dance with Mertz Gilmore Creative Grant, SEANSE Art Residency at Volda University in Norway, Baryshnikov Arts Center, Creative Engagement by LMCC, SU-CASA, and LMCC Arts Center Residency. Through their collaborative practice, binbinFactory seeks to spark realization and empathy, inviting audiences into a space where movement becomes a dialogue between inner and outer worlds. Haga is currently a Hodder Fellow at Princeton University (2025–2026).

Two dancers perform a quiet duet on a sandy landscape. Dressed in light beige and white, they move with grace and connection—the woman supporting the man as they meet each other’s gaze. The soft tones of sand and sky create a calm, intimate atmosphere. Photo by Reggie Shiobara.
