Performances

Anatomical experiment
Starting with a scene where she wears a bag on her face and
draws on it with a crayon. Small dances choreographed on
different parts of her body including a mouth dance and a face
dance.

Anatomical experiment version 2
Being looked at on the floor as if she were a microbe observed
through a microscope. She gives meticulous orders to detailed
parts of her body, which is a process of dissection that awakens
independent consciousness in the fragments of a body, that
leads to the discovery of unrecognized connections and the
encounter with the unknown self.

Anatomical experiment version 3
A dance piece of thinking aloud where she gives orders to the
body parts while another self faithfully obeys such orders.
Composed with a list that contains no fewer than thirty orders,
it employs a rare choreographic methodology.

Anatomical experiment version 4

Private Trace 2009
This piece is for observation of relations.
A body stores up its reactions to what it relates to and encounters with since its birth,and keeps building walls and breaking them. The way one builds a wall is unique, and the uniqueness speaks for his or her individuality. The way one's wall exists, which generates urgent screams and squeaks, is fascinating, and to observe it is a wonderful thing to do.

A chain of relations that are reproduced every day-that is what constitutes the world. Let's take a part of the most familiar relation and observe it. Probably you will never know what really happened there. Perhaps it has never existed. I want to cast a light from this and that angle on its surface with complex texture to discover the "inexistent substance" because I cannot help searching.


a map of anatomical experiment
Performed in minimum spaces, mostly in galleries. An omnibus
work and a daring experiment of dispersed thoughts. Each
performance is an alteration using the same title.
Sumidagawa aquatic art bus
Performance in a tourist boat running on Sumida river. Some
middle school students at their school excursion were found
among the innocent audience. Everyone gawped at her in mute
horror.
Anatomical experiment: Street Car Arakawa Line
A clattering train with Tezuka on it draws frozen looks from
passersby. Did the passenger audience in the train feel as if
they had turned into an attraction in a show tent?
