Solos

Seki’s solos have been performed internationally in various contexts such as art exhibitions, festivals, concerts, theatre and unconventional venues in both outdoors and indoors.  Some are site-responsive and improvised in nature, some are choreographed either site-specifically or in theatre settings.   

She enjoys moments of unexpected encounters both external and internal.  Encountering a gang of seagulls crying, rosy cheeked children quietly sitting by their scooters, a serge of happiness turns into wicked laughter, gentle wind brushes her hair, long casting shadow chasing and deep silence.  As if she was moved by the invisibles.  Her performance often intensifies and challenges the viewer’s experience.

    'The uninhibited distortions and subtle exaggerations of the human form that Yumino brought to life, stirred up a whole            range of emotions within me.’

    ‘Solo dance performance from the Butoh tradition that held the audience spellbound’

Broadening the boundaries of dance performance she often collaborates with artists from various backgrounds such as experimental sound & light, music, film/moving image, theatre, visual art, installation and sculpture.
