Tokyo Dolores - Japanese Dance, Performance Art & Fashion

Tokyo Dolores is a Japanese dance and performance art group that was created to explore the deep and complex spirituality of Japanese girls - that which remains mostly unseen below the kawaii exterior that's presented to the world. During their "Akazukin - Red Riding Hood" performance, we were lucky to do this interview with the group. Tokyo Dolores founder and leader Cay Izumi is a fan of Harajuku street fashion and Japanese pop culture. She's has modeled for Kera Magazine as well as acting in Tokyo Gore Police and several other Japanese films. Her vision for Tokyo Dolores mixes elements of Tokyo street fashion (gothic lolita styles, kawaii costumes) with Japanese pop culture (anime and manga) and traditional storytelling (fairy tales and folklore) - all fused through modern dance, pole dancing, and acrobatic. Tokyo Dolores has four full members (Cay Izumi, Aloe, Nancy & Jill), but the group also collaborates with other artists - including musicians, costume makers, visual artists, and dancers - when they stage productions. In addition to their numerous shows in Japan, Tokyo Dolores have taken their performances all over the world, including stops in Canada, American, and Europe.
