With Space Dance, I started to experience the relationship between dance, body, and mind more deeply. The body’s own story becomes much clearer after I started to Space Dance project. I experience the effect of space memory on my body. I can be a visual memory of time by moving at the moment. I can jump through time, which is a combination of past, present, and future. I visualize the integrated details of the space memory on my body.

●Metz Salazar (Mexico City, Mexico)
“I first met Mets when the late Ana brought me to my workshop in Mexico City. She has a model body and sense. “I can dance well too,” she said herself, so I was a bit skeptical, but when I saw her dance, it was really good. She is one of the dancers who can appeal her existence without moving much. I remembered Hiroko Horiuchi, a butoh dancer when I was young. Mets said that she also likes cosplay and Japanese culture, so I introduced Sayoko Yamaguchi, “it maybe helpful for you to examine her?”. (T.F)

Born in Tokyo and received her BA in dance from Hunter College, NY. Joined Tokyo Space Dance in 2006 and has been exploring the connection between the space and her body and searching the relationship between dance and herself in life. “Touch, feel and reach into the space. Enjoy the engagement with it and then become a part of it. Connected with myself and with the universe, I find myself in peace and fulfilled. Dance makes all possible.”

●Marega Palser (Newport, Wales)
“I have felt Marega as an innate Space Dancer. When she participated my workshop in Cardiff, England, she brought a bicycle for my order as “leave the venue and look for something that could be useful for your dance“, and she danced slowly like a circus dancer. Her dance in Paris, dressed in newspaper costumes, was also very fresh. My impression is that she doesn’t handle things from the outside, but lives inside them. Even now, she still keeps its feeling, and continues to perform creative dances that no one can imitate.” (T.F)

●Anna Juniewicz (Warsaw, Poland)
Anna Juniewicz – a dancer and a performer. Dancing for Anna is both art and activism. She’s been practicing butoh since 2008 and sees as a dance of playfulness and provocation, of shadows and “forbidden colors.” Her collaboration with Tetsuro Fukuhara began in 2016. In 2017 it continued with “Spiritual Journey” project in Tokyo. Ever since it’s been an extremely inspiring artistic, intellectual and human-technological encounter.

My name is Caterina Genta, born in Rome, and since I was five years old I started with dance. My mother was a dance teacher. In the nine ties I was in Germany to take my bachelor in dance and choreography in the Folkwang University of Arts directed by Pina Bausch. I met and worked with Tetsuro Fukuhara in 1998. Since than Tanztheater and the Butoh Space Dance are the basics of my expression. My dance, even if I studied a lot of techniques, is free from codex. I live my body and the relationship with the environment

●Laura Andrea Vargas Bazan (Mexico City, Mexico)
“Laura participated in my first workshop in Mexico City as a teenager. She is a sharp dancer and she understands space dance very well. Since then she has attended and assisted me every year when I hold workshops in Mexico City. Mexico City, along with Istanbul, have become two of my favorite big cities, but much more because of her and her friend dancers with the ambitious spirits.”(T.F)
