About

An Israeli choreographer, dancer and performance artist. My stage works were performed in various stages across Israel and Japan. I have studied at the school of Visual Theater – Jerusalem and Kelim Choreography Center – Bat Yam.

As a worldly soul, my artistic journey began from the early days of my childhood in Japan, where I was born and raised. Art became an integral part of my life, growing up immersed in the country’s rich culture, I found myself captivated by its unique aesthetics and spirit. Each passing year deepened my connection with Japan, fostering appreciation for its artistic essence.

Drawing inspiration from the beauty of nature, I infuse my art with the harmonious symphony of the natural world. The movement of leaves in the wind, the flight of birds, and the fluidity of water all find expression in my creations. I seek to intertwine the art of dance with the elements, forging a poetic rhythm between human expression and the environment.

Along with the organic aesthetics lies an urge for maximalism, a humorous, pop-modernistic, colorful sense of style where different objects and plastic arts provide an important role and contrast in my stage works. The merge between the two polarities is what fascinated me, in art and in life. 

Collaboration lies at the heart of my artistic process, as I believe in the power of shared creativity. Engaging with fellow artists and performers from diverse backgrounds and disciplines, I relish the opportunity to craft unique artistic fusions that transcend conventional boundaries, To construct innovative structures that blend the traditional and the contemporary, the abstract and the concrete, in an artistic flow.

At the core of my practice is the embrace of somatic awareness—a deep-rooted connection to the body and its intimate dialogue with the mind and soul. Through somatic practice, I dive into the exploration of self and space,into the profound relationship between the physical and the metaphysical. I seek within and at the same breath burst out.
