Mikiko Kawamura

Mikiko Kawamura is an emerging artist who, as a student at Japan Women’s College of Physical Education, submitted a work to the New Choreographer Division of the Yokohama Dance Collection EX2011 competition and won the Outstanding New Artist Prize. A year later she won the New Artist Prize at the “Dance ga Mitai! New Figure Dance Festival 10” and continued to draw attention as a new face in Japan’s street dance scene with a unique presence. Calling herself a girl playing in an imaginary world, Kawamura’s dance expresses a world where her alter-ego latent with hidden sexuality, violence and desire runs free.
