Saori Hala

Choreographer and performer Saori Hala is based in Berlin and Tokyo. Working with her own body and diverse media, her projects are inspired by her background in dance, design and ecopsychology, exploring the relationship between the social environment and the physical body, and interweaving reality and fiction on stage. After the 2011 Great East Japan earthquake and the nuclear accident in Fukushima, she relocated to Germany and started her research into environment and the body. Her works have been performed mainly in Japan and Europe. She has been a resident artist at Dance Base Yokohama since 2020, and a guest artist in the repertory piece Brüste und Eier at the Thalia Theater in Hamburg, Germany since 2022.
