The traditional creation for the dancers of Dance Well, dance practice for people with Parkinson’s but open to the whole community (and since 2022 a European project supported by Creative Europe), is entrusted this year to the dance artist Chisato Ohno, who will create a movement-based score, giving dancers a new opportunity to explore the languages of contemporary dance.

After graduating from Central School of Ballet, Chisato joined Netherlands Dans Theater 2 where she performed works by Jiri Kylian, Hans van Manen, Johan Inger, Paul Lightfoot, Gideon Obarzanek and many others. She continued to become a member of Batsheva Dance Company performing many works of Ohad Naharin and other choreographers including John Jasperse, William Forsythe, Mats Ek and Sharon Eyal. She then joined Karas Company of Saburo Teshigawara for two creations and tours of other repertory. Chisato returned to London and has been teaching Gaga since 2005. She teaches regular Professional classes in London and has taught company class for Akram Khan Company, Hofesh Shechter Company, Punch Drunk, Stopgap, Clod Ensemble, New Adventures, Lost Dog and others. She has been a member of faculty at the London Contemporary Dance School since 2013 and joined the Rambert School faculty in 2020.

In the moment explores time through an innovative approach to performance and improvisation. Piano and drums are played together to deliver one composition, partly scored and partly improvised. The musical ideas were inspired by the dancers’ movements which gave shape to a continuous dialogue between sounds and gestures. This exchange takes the audience into a collective unconscious musical memory and meditative state.
