These six teachers carry contrasting yet mutually supportive performance techniques and traditions at play in the creation process.

Dana Iova-Koga — Body Weather

Dana has been deeply investigating the intersection of dance and biological life, starting with her time on Min Tanaka’s farm several decades ago. Her movement research centers around the cultivation of an evolving, responsive, and animate practice.

Shinichi Iova-Koga — Butoh Dance, Action Theater

Shinichi’s 35-year history with Butoh lurks within his presence, while his commitment to the art of improvisation unearth actions not beholden to a particular tradition. A lifetime in the martial arts and his deep investigation into the Daoist internal arts deeply inform his concepts of body, energy and motion.

Elke Luyten — Corporeal Mime

Elke emerges from Corporeal Mime, a French codified theatre technique based upon placing geometry and resistance in the body; following a kind of unified field theory, physical forces in the body then translate into the metaphysical.

Jubilith Moore — Noh Theater

For over three decades Jubilith has been on a quest to embody the essences of beauty and grace. Nohgaku has been her greatest teacher. With its inherent, time-tested and unique principles she is learning how to be, both on stage and in life.

Mari Osanai — Noguchi Taiso

Mari has been teaching, choreographing and performing as a soloist for over four decades, growing from her time with Michizo Noguchi, the founder of Noguchi Taiso. “Human beings are living water bags.”

Cass Tunick — Action Theater

Cass is a lineage-holder, senior teacher and organizational director for Action Theater. She directs, creates and performs theater works that invite collaborations across media – film, music, modern dance, Butoh and Aikido.
