Esther Balfe
Born in England and having studied ballet at London Royal Academy, Esther Balfe began working as a professional dancer at various theaters around Europe at 18. She joined the Forsythe Company in 2007. She has earned the trust of William Forsythe, and continues dancing as guest member of the company now that she is independent. Currently teaches at Vienna Conservatory.
Young Doo Jung
Born in South Korea. Having acted for a while, Young Doo Jung shifted to dance in his 20s. His works have been performed by the Korea National Contemporary Dance Company and presented at major theaters in Korea. In recent years he has been gaining presence in Japan, working with Takayuki Fujimoto (dumb type), Gen Kori (dots) and other Japanese artists. He also joined JCDN’s international collaboration project. While running his own Doo Dance Theater, Jung currently teaches as a specially appointed Associate Professor at the Rikkyo University Department of Body Expression and Cinematic Arts.
Shigemi Kitamura
Based in the Kansai Region, Shigemi Kitamura’s works, vigorously physical but a lot of fun at the same time, are filled with laughter, melancholy and explosive energy that powerfully engage the audience. She also does projects outside of the theater, such as “Dance Marathon” and “Dance at Home”. Aiming at introducing different ways to enjoy dance, Kitamura gives workshops and jointly creates works with the general public in communities around the country.
