Artist Statement

My themes in my work are transformation, life, and connection.
As a performing artist, a creator, and a teacher, I would love to focus on transformation not only physically, but energetically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. I would like to create a work which comes from deep inside of us; something that awakens us, something like a screaming of our souls, and I embrace the raw and authentic expressions coming from our bodies. No matter who we are, and where we are from, I believe these primal voices have the vibrancy that resonates with us to connect, and I hope that leads us to understand each other on a deep level. I would love to share my heart to connect with others in the world.
I am very intrigued and interested in the relationship between human beings and nature, physical expression and its possibilities, and how our work reflects the society we live in now. I use our bodies to explore, express, and share our voices. The primal art forms I use are Butoh, theatre, and visual arts, and I am open to collaborating with any other art forms existing.
Butoh awakens my soul; Butoh guides me to what I am.
