Hello everyone, nice to meet you.
I am a dancer, taiko player and musician in Tokyo.
I create works based on the fascination of the "body" as a form of dance, with a focus on taiko drumming.
I also choreograph, direct, make songs, and conduct workshops and bon dance creation.
In 2019, We formed "Taiko+Dance Unit MADAKOBAYASHI", a performance unit in which all members dance while playing percussion instruments.
Referencing the physicality and philosophy of Japanese local performing arts, we aim to express ourselves as a "foreign body" that connects a wide variety of things.
