Aine Nakamura is a performer, artist, poet and improviser. She focuses on the sensibility and sensitivity in listening to hidden stories and performs using sung and spoken voice and movement across multiple cultural/transcultural sites, that are her interventions in traditional power structures. She seeks the potentialities of an injured voice and on the listening and sensing bodies. She writes words, some of which become scores, and considers shapes as if her throat itself is a membrane and body or inner is a changing shape or phenomenon among worldly phenomena, in relations. Through her practice, while aiming to be a vessel, she understands about herself and pursues meanings of lines, seeing, and connecting. In her recent transdisciplinary works and research, she explores the presence of wounds and repair, and the concepts of fragile kindness and love to access pathways to vulnerability. Engaging with sites, memory, and transborder soul work, she works in sounding/voicing, movement, storytelling/poetry, object-making/installation, and site-specific composition/improvisation.
