Yuya Fujinami
Yuya Fujinami began his professional dance and gymnastics education in Saitama, Japan and completed his studies at the Hamburg Ballet School of John Neumeier. After his graduation he was engaged with Theater Chemnitz, Tiroler Landestheater Innsbruck and Staatstheater Tanz Braunschweig. He had the opportunity to work among others with international choreographers such as Jan Pusch, Roy Assaf, Katrin Hall, Annabelle Bonney, Jochen Heckmann, Yuki Mori and Stephan Thoss. Since 2015, Yuya is an outstanding freelance dance artist based in Berlin and collaborated with various independent choreographers. He also worked and toured internationally with companies such as CONSTANZA MACRAS | DORKYPARK in “Megalopolis”, “Chatsworth” and ”Der Palast” as well as Sasha Waltz & Guests in “NoBody“, “Rauschen“, “Dialoge 2020 - Relevante Systeme“ and “Tannhäuser“.
Periodically, Yuya is also realizing his own choreographies. For his first collaboration with Emmanouela Dolianiti, they received the audience award “Best Duo 2017”, for their production “memini” at the ‘9th International SoloDuo Festival’ in Cologne. In 2019 they created “ETHE REAL” in coproduction with CONSTANZA MACRAS | DORKYPARK and EX-teater. The piece was presented at theater “Verlin” and at the “Performing Arts Festival Berlin”.
Yuya appeared in my work “Narziss and Echo” at Staatstheater Braunschweig” and is dancing and collaborating in my latest production “baby on fire” in 2020.
