Kuroda is a dancer and choreographer whose movement practice focuses on sensitivity to internal and external air flow around the body, sharpness, fragility and unique rhythm. She aspires to make work where, through focus and technical skill, the dancer’s body is, in a way, unseen; leaving cells and memories.
During her fellowship, Kuroda focuses on the Trisha Brown Dance Company (TBDC) and research the sustainability of dance from the perspective of postmodern dance. She also attends rehearsals for TBDC and Merce Cunningham Dance Company projects, both held as part of the 100th anniversary celebration of Robert Rauschenberg's birth. Through observing these rehearsals, she aims to learn the two companies’ distinct movement vocabularies and study how the dancers will continue to perform and pass on this received choreography to future generations.
