2000dreams EnSem, based in central Europe, explores
the cross-current of both visual and movement process.
It emcompasses multi-faceted performance arts and
site specific live installations.
Because of it rooted in HumanSewingMachine,
a ex-butoh-based company,
2000dreams EnSem carries such asthetics as well as
one fundamental way of workings.
The EnSem’s recent interests/projects have been focusing
in cultural diversity and global mobility
and its effects on perceptions of the human physical
and emotional spheres.
In addition, to create site-specific works which transports
whatever space into a intimate internal emotional journey.
Drawing from her own resourcefulness as an artist,
Artistic director/resident choreographer,
Delphine Kini Mae works with a variety of raw materials
& devices such as photography, book art, fabrics,
anything hand-made and recycled from nature &
urban landscapes.
It has remained till today as her interest to work
with found objects,
interweaving them into her work.
The company consists of a rotating host of artists
from many genres:
media artists, visualists, dancers,
actors, sound artists,
and your normal happy-go-lucky citizens.
It has included combinations of different performance styles
such as
contemporary dances, oriental folk dance gestures/Butoh,
street dances, traditional mask dance theatre,
martial arts practices, ect.
2000dreams EnSem has performed and installed
widely in the US,
such as San Francsico(SF Film Festival opening gala,

and Austria(SEAD/Lust am risiko, Diagonal Film Festival/

EnSem is not only interested in the traditional venues
but also open to the non-traditional, alternative spaces
such as normal streets
and abondoned housings for their explorations,
and,
to find different types of truth.
