Yuko Kaseki
Yuko Kaseki is a Director, choreographer, Butoh dancer, performer, and teacher in Berlin. She has created various projects with international musicians such as Kazuhisa Uchihashi, Antonis Anissegos, Emilio Gordoa, Audrey Chen, Axel Dörner, et al, visual artists such as Morvarid K, Chiharu Shiota, Nikhil Chopra, Arata Mori, et al, dancer/performer such as Christine Bonansea, Sherwood Chen, Shinichi Iova Koga, Valentin Tszin, et al.
Solo and ensemble performances, improvisations are performed in around 30 countries. These creations are the accumulation of poetic and vivid images that incorporate the spirit of Butoh, performance, and live art. Her performance aims to reflect the outsider’s existence. She has been searching for a way to penetrate the space between physical and spiritual expression. Every day she grows her perception to find the moment of extraordinary in the ordinary. Collaboration with the Disabled Theater Thikwa (Berlin) overturns the concept of her dance and has a great influence on subsequent activities. Her strong interest in breaking borders of physical expression leads to many collaborations with international mixed ability artists.
