Dancer, choreographer and teacher, founder of Minako Seki Company. Her artistic approach can not be separated from her personal philosophy of living, which in a wholistic way combines vipassana meditation, macrobiotic cooking and Japanese traditional body healing techniques.

Born in Japan, Minako Seki lives and works in Berlin since 1986. Her first source of influence were the Japanese dancers Tetsuro Tamura and Anzu Furukawa. Both masters have in common a crucial consideration of human and emotional levels and the fusion of contemporary dance and physical theater with the classic Butoh dance technique.

In her pieces Seki investigates the communication between the conscious and subconscious, the description of emotional states and the boundaries between reality and illusion.
