Nagao Akemi


is a Berlin based dance director and choreographer.

The main tool of my work is body, space and time.
I am interested in making visible what is invisible in dance and society.

People dance throughout their lives, constantly from childhood until death.

I can not stop seeing that everything is dancing in our lives.

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

Dance bring us back to our body, sensitivity, softness, pleasure, and the simplicity of our lives.
