The concept of KITAO's performance is “to stir the inner thoughts and ideas that are often idle.” While delving the hidden truth about physical sensibility, she incorporates “corporeal thinking”into her performance. Fascinated with the idea that a body is a phenomenon, she expresses physical reactions triggered by feelings as “corporeal matters” in her solo/collaborative performances around the world.
KITAO Hiroyo devotes time and energy toward developing performances, somesthetic and collaboration works in small theatres and open-use venues （including , cafes, galleries, or entrance areas of any building ） that allow for intimacy with audiences. She is willing to participate in any festivals and projects around the world, where she can perform and offer workshops.
