ABOUT
KEISUKE SUGAWARA
菅原圭輔
ベルリンを拠点に活動する振付家。身体を起点に、空間全体を媒介とした知覚体験を創出する作品を制作している。
創作では「自己の確立と他者との関係性」を主題に、図形譜（ビジュアルスコア）を用いた実験的な振付手法を展開。文化的・社会的規範によって形成される認識や身体感覚の差異に着目し、多様な知覚や思考のあり方を手がかりに、個人と社会の関係性を再考する。身体表現を軸に、光、音響、映像など複数のメディアを横断することで、鑑賞者に内省的な体験を促す作品を特徴とする。
2017年の渡独以降、欧州各地および日本で作品やリサーチプロジェクトを発表。ドイツ連邦文化財団、デンマーク・ユトランド芸術基金、エストニア文化基金、欧州文化首都など複数の国際文化機関より支援を受ける。
近年は、感情や人生の転換期といった普遍的なテーマを扱いながら、個人と社会の接続を探る創作に取り組んでいる。
Supported by
Keisuke Sugawara is a choreographer based in Berlin whose practice explores perception through the body and the spatial relationships that emerge between individuals, environments, and society.
His work centers on questions of selfhood and relationships with others, developed through experimental choreographic methodologies, including the use of visual scores. By focusing on differences in perception and bodily experience shaped by cultural and social frameworks, he investigates diverse ways of sensing, thinking, and relating to the world.
Working across performance, installation, sound, light, and visual media, he creates environments that encourage reflection and embodied experiences for audiences.
Since relocating to Germany in 2017, he has presented performances and research projects throughout Europe and Japan. His work has been supported by international cultural institutions including the German Federal Cultural Foundation, the Danish Jutland Art Foundation, the Estonian Cultural Endowment, and the European Capital of Culture programme.
In recent years, his projects have focused on universal themes such as emotion, personal transformation, and the relationship between individuals and society.
Additional Practice
Alongside his artistic practice, Sugawara works as a facilitator, curator, and programme advisor.
His recent activities include facilitating the Internship Programme “Project Development Course” at AXUS (since 2025) and contributing as a curator and programme advisor for ЯeSpiration (2023) and Synchronicity (2025), organised by qutori Inc.
