MEDIATHEK

It is in particular the entrancing, other worldish lighting that makes this little tragedy about drowning. In Oneself a gratifying experience. As a dancer, poet and musician Akemi Takeya creates original art pieces. Akemi Takeya is a poetic dancer and performer, who constantly crosses frontiers between the real and the artistic world. For 10 years she has combined Japanese aesthetics with European performance art in an artificial process. She develops characters and positions in the theatrically space from layers in her inner soul. Akemi Takeya was born in Aomori prefecture in northern Japan, and was the pitcher in a baseball team as a child. She moved to Tokyo in 1981 and studied comprehensive technique for physical expression with Kinuko Nishina, shamisen (Japanese 3-stringed lute) with Sataya Kineya. (Quelle: Karin Bergquist)
