Surimu Fukushi

What I like about performing is that I could be either someone completely different or truly be myself and put everything out on the level that I could never get to in the daily life.
Every production, every creation is a new challenge as a dancer and as an artist. It keeps me going to keep tackling and exploring the possibilities of what I could do and what I could bring to the audience.
I feel very lucky to have unique and inspiring colleagues and we push each other to keep growing. – Surimu
