Hello! I'm Ami, a Japanese artist working across dance and photography. I am a former dancer with Ensemble Sonne, where I took part in creating works through physical training based on the Kurt Jooss method of German Expressionism. Currently, I am exploring new ways to create through dance and photography, inspired by body movements and the surrounding environment. Since I had the beautiful opportunity to volunteer at the European Capitals of Culture (Plovdiv, Matera, and Rijeka) and the Sibiu International Theatre Festival in 2019/20, one of my dreams is to return to ECOC, this time as an artist, to share my works and collaborate across cultures.
