A photo session with Mayuna Shimizu, a New York based dancer and choreographer.

Mayuna Shimizu at Genlab: Work in progress

I've known her for..., I don't know, but for a long time in NYC.  I've photographed her and collaborated with her several times, as well. But She is the kind of person who shines at her present time.  I visited her work-in-progress showcase last Saturday.  Her performance was very sharp, with sensitive and urban sound track by Soichiro Migita.

There were 5 other performances besides Mayuna's.  I was touched by some of them, as well. 

I could feel their passion, and made me wanna dance.
