Who is she?
Keiko Ninomiya
"A dramatic dynamo" -Now Magazine
At the age of seventeen and knowing very little English, Keiko left her home in southern Japan
and travelled to England to study at the London Studio Centre and the London Contemporary Dance School.
Keiko then came to Toronto, Canada where she graduated from The School of Toronto Dance Theatre.
Since then, Keiko has appeared in works by CORPUS, Motus O, Hiroshi K. Miyamoto,
Masumi Sato, William Yong, Matjash Mrozewski, Mari Osanai, Lincoln Shand, Trish Beatty,
Naoko Murakoshi and Denise Fujiwara. Keiko has been showcasing her own choreographic
work at various venues since 1995 including fFIDA International Dance Festival and
The CanAsian Dance Festival. She is the founder of the Yuragi Dance Project and co-founder
of AKA Dance, ZUKE and Green Tea, which is a collective of Japanese contemporary dancers in
Toronto. Keiko is the joint recipient of the eighth annual Paula Citron fFIDA Award (2003)
with Louis Laberge-C� for their piece "Futari en Trois Couleurs" which was named one of the
top ten performances of the year in both the Globe and Mail and Now Magazine. This past year,
Keiko was invited to choreograph for Le Groupe Dance Lab in Ottawa and premiered her first
solo piece "Fly" in Aomori, Japan. Keiko and Kinya "Zulu" Tsuruyama (ZUKE) were nominated for
a 2007 Dora Award for Outstanding New Choreography. Keiko has studied Butoh (contemporary
Japanese dance) since 2004 in Tokyo, Berlin and Canada and has hosted several successful
Butoh workshops in Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal with Butoh Master Kinya "Zulu" Tsuruyama.
She is currently studying and teaching traditional Balinese Dance from Court repertoire to contemporary compositions.
She has performed Balinese dance with the University of Toronto Gamelan Ensemble at
The Four Season's Opera House and with Gamelan Gita Asmara in Vancouver.
In the future, look for Keiko melding her contemporary background with her studies of Balinese dance.
