Sakurako is an nomadic conceptual/visual artist & performer/choreographer working worldwide mostly in situ. Currently she is a long term artist in residency Château Éphémère (Paris). Although she was trained as a conceptual & visual artist, after the graduation from the Fine Arts (Rietveld Academy) in 2008, she has been practicing martial arts and other traditional Eastern arts, as well as various dance techniques. Besides conceptual works, site-specific installations, sculpture, photography and video works, since 2011 her main practice remains a contemporary Japanese dance Butoh and she continues training with various masters around Europe and Japan. Her work usually balances at the edge where performance art meet theatre and dance. The human condition is the main subject matter of her works.
