Details
Ephia is a physical theater artist, dancer and the creator of a movement philosophy called “Unsound Body”, which concentrates on situations of physical instability, fragility, connection with nature and the deconstruction of the logic of performance. The first phase of her career can be described as having strong ties to butoh. She studied dance with Min Tanaka, Kazuo Ohno, Akira Kasai and Anzu Furukawa. She joined Furukawa’s company in Berlin in 1999 and gained recognition for the “dance of being crushed by elephants” (created by butoh founder Tatsumi Hijikata) in Furukawa’s final production, “Goya: La Quinta del Sordo”. She collaborates with composer Jeff Gburek in the project Djalma Primordial Science. In the seven years of performance and teaching with Djalma Primordial Science, Ephia’s physical practice has broken away from butoh and her dance-theater has also incorporated increasingly the use of voice on a metalinguistic level, showing some affinities with the work of Roy Hart and Ami Yoshida.
