The Japanese
choreographer, dancer, performer, singer Hisako Horikawa ( born in
Niigata, Japan) studied improvised music with Takehisa Kosugi.
Afterwards, she devoted herself to voice, performing for four years.
Since 1978 she has been inquiring into the body and dance with Min
Tanaka. With Tanaka she was the co-founder of the Body Weather
Laboratory, and until 1998 she was working and dancing with her troupe
Maijuku, and at the Body Weather Farm in Montainside in Japan. In 1998
she began to work on her own and went back to live in Niigata.
Today she
mainly does solos and works with a variety of artists and musicians in
different countries. She has danced with Tristan Honsinger (cello) and
Ab Baars (sax), and since 2004 she has danced in the Dutch Punk Rock
Band with The EX. She has been dancing in the street since 2001,
especially in old areas. She interrelates architecture and the
community, working with children and non-professionals, and she recovers
the old dancers in the city who had practically vanished.
In recent
years she has often worked in Spain. In Barcelona she has done duets
with Augusti Fernández (piano) and Derek Bailey (guitar).
