Moe Yoshida

Japan/Artist
Born in Fukuoka Prefecture in 1999. Through the involvement with others, Yoshida seeks new body forms and correlations with environments. Her recent creations with her direction include: "Wall or Stone, Flat Medium" (2020/2024), an archive and practice of people who mediumize their own bodies (actors, therapists, art models, trainees, and dancers), and "Still Life" (2022), a research on the environmentalization of memories embraced within the body of individuals. She has performed in the works of Sanmaikumie, Ikuko Sekita, marebito theater company, and others.

1/3

A research residency for a new work by Moe Yoshida, a director, as well as an actress who has performed in works by marebito theater company and Ikuko Sekita.
As in urban life and tourism, a body may move between two points such as the present and the past or future, or reality and imagination. Defining such a body as a "vacational body," Yoshida will conduct fieldwork in the streets of an onsen town, write a script, and create a performance in collaboration with actors.
