<aside> 🍃 Nanako Matsumoto is a dance artist who works with performance and language- separately and in various combinations. She is interested in dance as a critique of the body. Her interdisciplinary practice also includes writings and public action. She has been focused on the creation of dance works as a performance unit “team chiipro”. One of the characteristics of their works is the use of text based on meticulous research. In writing texts and making performances, Nanako deals with the intersection of the historical, societal, anthropological, and geographical contexts as well as her physical sensations and memories with her own body. Recent years, she seeks for "妖怪body", a state of transformation and transition（化け）achieved by layering multiple images onto the body. Through the choreography of "妖怪Body," she attempts to explore the transformative nature of the body and dance, while redefining the “woman's body”.
