 July 04, 2025 / 7 pm Hikaru Osakabe Showing Tanztendenz Hikaru Osakabe explores the themes of boredom and self-doubt in the context of commercialization during his residency: "We have been taught to fear boredom and fill it with content and noise. When we're bored, we scroll. We consume. But maybe boredom isn't a problem - maybe it's a portal. A space in which something real can emerge. Commercialization thrives on our fear of not doing enough, not having enough, not being enough. It tells us that there is a better version of life that is unattainable. And we believe it. But what if we let go of this fantasy? What if failure wasn't something we avoid, but something we explore?" From June 26 to July 4, 2025, Munich-based Japanese choreographer Hikaru Osakabe will be a guest artist in residence at Tanztendenz. A seven-day residency already took place in April 2025, during which he began his work process and deepened it together with dancer Edoardo Cino. He is now continuing this process with dancers Ariane Roustan and Clara Cafiero in the current residency at the end of June. Dancer and choreographer Hikaru Osakabe participated in Tanztendenz's “Open Studios” at the beginning of the year. These took place for the 13th time from February 7 to 20, 2025 in the Tanztendenz studios at Lindwurmhof. The format gives young up-and-coming choreographers the opportunity to use the rehearsal rooms free of charge to try out and exchange ideas without the pressure of production. HIKARU OSAKABE has been working as a freelance artist since 2024, expanding his choreographic research into other disciplines and communities. His current work explores the intersection of movement, self-judgment, social pressure and creativity. At the heart of his work is a simple but radical idea: dance does not have to be “good” to be meaningful. It does not require recognition, performance or mastery - only presence. Through his evolving choreographic language, he invites others to rediscover their creativity by moving with curiosity, openness and without fear of doing something wrong. Hikaru received his training in classical ballet and modern dance at the Royal Winnipeg Ballet School in Canada. From 2016 to 2019 he was a demi-soloist with Alberta Ballet in Canada. In 2019, Hikaru joined the Landestheater Eisenach as a soloist, where he danced under the direction of Andris Plucis in choreographies by Bryan Arias and Andris Plucis. From 2020 to 2023, he was a soloist at the Staatstheater am Gärtnerplatz under the direction of Karl Alfred Schreiner. There he performed a diverse repertoire by renowned choreographers such as Roy Assaf, Felix Landerer, Ina Christel Johannessen, Ioannis Mandafounis, Micha Purucker, Thomas Hauert and many others.
