Biography 敷地理 / Osamu Shikichi

While it is impossible to see ourselves objectively from the outside, Shikichi tries to capture the strong realities of oneself through looking at other human’s bodies that are materially closest to oneself. In the process Shikichi is interested in blurring and remixing all identifying systems to our human bodies.
Shikichi was born in Japan and started making performances while doing sculpture. And as their curiosities shifted more towards focusing on the physical movements and body qualities, Shikichi began working on dance and also became more active in the performing arts fields.

Major performance works include "happy ice-cream" (Yokohama Dance Collection 2020), "blooming dots'' (TPAM2021 Fringe etc.), "dragging" (Tokyo Arts and Space), "Hyper Ambient Club" (ROHM Theatre Kyoto 2022/ Creative Centre Osaka 2023).

Major awards include the French Embassy Prize for Young Choreographers at Yokohama Dance Collection 2020 and Pola Art Foundation Fellowship 2023 etc.
