居於日本神戶的舞者，追求「只能稱為舞蹈」的現象，並致力創造與他人共享這些瞬間的「機制」。作品包括在庭院中重現他人記憶的四小時獨舞《Freeway Dance》，以及在空地搭建臨時劇場並於其後拆除的《The Odoriba Legend》。2018至2020年於神戶DANCE BOX擔任聯合藝術家；2022年起為東京Saison基金會的獎助學人。
Ayaka Nakama is a dancer based in Kobe, Japan. She seeks out phenomena that can only be called dance, creating “mechanisms” to share such moments with others. Her works include Freeway Dance, a four-hour solo in a garden that reenact others’ memories, and The Odoriba Legend, a project featuring a temporary theatre built on an empty lot, which was later demolished. From 2018 to 2020, she was an associate artist of Dance Box (Kobe). Since 2022, she has been a fellow of The Saison Foundation in Tokyo.
