Maki Morishita

Choreographer and dancer. The roots of her dance style lie in the games she invented to make friends when she was transferred to a new school as a child. She has performed her solo works in more than 10 countries and 30 cities. She expands her field by collaborating with artists from diverse disciplines. Her performance is characterized by its unpredictable chimeric world that has emerged from the unique concept of “Ma　（gap, space, pause in Japanese）” and its chaotic involvement with surrounding people and environments.
