Shie Minamino / OSUSHI
Japan／Playwright, director and costume designer
Founder of a performing arts group OSUSHI from 2016, where she writes, directs and creates costumes.
Based in Kyoto Prefecture, Minamino shares the time and space with the audiences through her performances. By approaching multi-directionally from play, costume to dialogues, she re-edits many layers of matters in her direction and wrestles with others. Her performances are the results of the patience of dealing with the situations without simple responses and her effort to get to the core of the superindividual problems and affairs, where she poses universal questions.
