Nagao Akemi


is a Berlin based dance director and choreographer.

My main tool of my work is body, space and time.
I am interested in what makes people dance.

People dance through out their lives, from childhood until death.
I can not stop seeing that everything is dancing in our life.

I think, dance is the meeting point of the body intelligence and core emotions.

Dance makes us deeply happy, strong and free.
