About the instructor

Nao Kobayashi

Instructor / Artist

Nao Kobayashi has been exploring the depth of the body through expressional and contemplative martial art Shintaido, Japanese contemporary dance Butoh, and improvisation for the past 20 years. She approaches the body as a place where the mind meets, and searches for harmony in between. With her somatic understandings she creates interdisciplinary art projects with independent artists,
musicians, improvisers and performers. She keeps expanding ideas to cross borders and nurture culture with creative solutions.
