Asian Dance And Drama

Originally from Japan, this critically acclaimed performing artist is renowned for her exceptional mastery of a wide range of Balinese and Asian dances that have a rich tradition spanning over 500 years. Offering genuinely authentic Asian dance and drama, her performances are both educational and highly engaging.

Trained by internationally acclaimed Balinese dancers such as Ni Wayan Sekariani and I Dewa Nyoman Irawan; Japanese mask dancers like Osamu Wakayama and Mizuki Kakizawa; Javanese dancers including Dyah Kustianti; and Indian dancers such as Shaila Sateesh and Apoorva Jayaraman, her Asian dance performances are incredibly precise and diverse. Her extensive dance repertoire includes a range of ancient dance routines; classic court dances; and ancient mask dances like the Balinese Gambuh, which date back some 500 years. She also offers Japanese Shinto mask dance and drama.

Having deeply studied Balinese dance, Javanese dance, Bharatanatyam, and Japanese dance, she was inspired by the similarities among these cultures' ancient ritual dances. This led her to conduct extensive research into the interconnectedness of these dance forms.

Her profound knowledge of these traditional forms of Asian dance allows her to incorporate storytelling and educational talks into her dance and theatre performances. Audiences can learn more about the history behind the dance performances they are watching, creating a more enriching experience. She also provides interactive workshops and has extensive experience in conducting educational programs for all age groups.

All her performances feature beautifully authentic costumes that are true to the time period and culture of the dance. Expressive, theatrical, and emotive, her traditional Asian dance brings to life stories from ancient Asian cultures with an authenticity and vibrancy that will captivate both adults and children alike.
