Production Operaestate festival - national premiere
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 Ohno danced with Netherlands Dans Theater 2 from 1994-1998 where she performed works by Jiri Kylian, Hans van Manen, Johan Inger, Gideon Obarzanek and many others. She continued to become a member of Batsheva Dance Company from 1998- 2004 where she was involved in 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 is now based in London and has been teaching Gaga since 2005. She teaches regularly at London Contemporary Dance School and Rambert School, as well as professional classes at The Place and Greenwich Dance Agency. Company classes include Akram Khan Company, Hofesh Shechter Company, Protein Dance, Punch Drunk, Clod Ensemble, New Adventures, Lost Dog and others. She became a member of faculty at the London Contemporary Dance School in 2013.
