Asian Dance And Drama

Originally from Japan, this critically acclaimed performing artist is renowned for her mastery of a wide range of Balinese and Asian dances spanning 500 years of history. Bringing fantastically 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 Osamu Wakayama and Mizuki Kakizawa; Javanese dancers including Dyah Kustianti; and Indian dancers like Shaila Sateesh and Apoorva Jayaraman, her Asian dance performances are incredibly precise and varied. Her extensive dance repertoire includes a range of ancient dance routines, classic court dances, and ancient mask dances—some like the Balinese Gambuh dating back 500 years. She also performs Japanese Shinto mask dance and drama.

After studying Balinese dance, Javanese dance, Bharatanatyam, and Japanese dance in depth, she was struck by the similarities among these cultures’ ancient ritual dances, leading her to conduct extensive research into exploring the relationships between them all.

Her deep knowledge of each of these traditional forms of Asian dance allows her to incorporate storytelling and educational talks into her dance and theater performances. Audiences get the opportunity to learn more about the history behind the dance performance they are watching, creating a more stimulating experience. She also offers interactive workshops and has extensive experience conducting educational programs for all ages.

All of her performances feature beautiful, authentic costumes 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.
