Our company does not have a pyramid structure, the choreographer and the dancers are all on the same level, and we are open to having other artists come and go freely.
I have worked with butoh dancers, classical ballet dancers and modern, jazz, hip-hop and other types of dancers in my dance work.
I want to continue creating works from various orientations while keeping in touch with the contemporary world. Concepts and artworks are things that keep on changing with the times.

To perform “Rise: Rose” to the world and to make collaborative work with artists of new dance forms such as hip-hop.
