Akemi Takeya-dancer, performer, choreographer and musician is a cosmopolitan artist, who unites her Japanese European and American cultural experiences within her work.
She is an initiator of numerous multicultural and transdisciplinary projects, and interweaves movement and voice into vibrant creations, which she has developed a truly unique expressive language.
Takeya’s presentation is poetic, expressively strong, fantasyful and transformational. She takes her audience on a journey into an alien and curious world, where instinct and originality reign. In her impressive performances, the artist forges states of disorientation, victimisation, an expressive drive towards self-oblivion, painful development processes, horrific skinnings and distortion of limbs, into an intensely lyrical flow of images.
Currently collaborating with Ulf Langheinrich / Granular Synthesis (audiovisual environment) as voice & body performance- “modell5/motion control”, “weathering” and “ce_l”.

"Reinterpretation turned to be extremely entertaining – as we can see, in the work were engaged the young as well as already eminent musicians. As the result they made Talking to Ghosts an original alloy of very viscous, deep ambient with soft and warm glitch." Pi Micron, Soundproector
