Tiziana Longo

choreographer, dancer, and teacher, co-founder of the Motimaru Dance Company based in Berlin since 2010

studied butoh with Yoshito Ohno, son of Kazuo Ohno, and worked with him as a dancer, stage assistant, and simultaneous interpreter of his workshops in Yokohama and on tours abroad.

Her work ranges from Japanese butoh dance to movement dramaturgy and composition, in dialogue and contextualization between East and West with specific somatic attention.

On the multidisciplinary intersection of these performance disciplines, in 2021 she won the DisTanzSoloprize with, in progress, a book in completion, supported by DIsTanz Solo, DachVerband Tanz Deutschland.
The core of her work is the"embodiment". Space, body, and mind: how can they breathe, dance, and be moved?
She studied modern and contemporary dance, Japanese Buyo, and a bit researching on Balinese dance, Indian Theyyam, Tibetan Cham, etc..
