Aine Nakamura's art of voice and body tells stories that are her interventions in traditional power structures, across multiple cultural/transcultural sites. She focuses on the potentialities of voice and on the listening and sensing bodies. Through her performance of voice and movement, she aims to create spaces of connecting and coexisting. Her transnational and transgenerational background led her to a quest of betweenness and beneathness. This search beneath surfaces has become a site of exploration, a place of mending and soul. Her recent works include her solo performance of sung and spoken voice and body "Under an Unnamed Flower" during an invitation to the 50th International Theatre Festival at the Venice Biennale; solo performance project "Circle hasu We plant seeds in the spring of mountains," presented at Theatertreffen at Berliner Festspiele upon an invitation as a Stückemarkt artist; and a month-long site-specific exhibition and performance project "hands on tape," presented at The Lab in SF, unfolded over research, conversations and collaborations.
