Performance

I have been performing as a dancer and classical musician since early childhood. With that, performance comes as a natural addition to my Kinbaku practice. My performance style varies greatly depending on the audience and those I am performing with, as I view performance as a genuine collaboration between all those on stage and their witnesses. I have a personal taste for the absurd, the extreme, and the disturbing, and often like to explore themes that aim to provoke dark and contradictory feelings. As both a rigger and a model, I am inspired most by Akira Naka, Pilar, Felix Ruckert, and Nicolas Yoroï, and with their inspiration, am constantly trying to construct and deconstruct the ways in which we can shape the body to suffer with grace.
