Yasuko Kasami is a Feldenkrais practitioner and Assistant Trainer certified by the Australian Training Accreditation Board (AusTAB). Her background is modern dance. Kasami performed her innovative original dance works in small
theaters in throughout Tokyo. Though trained in ballet and modern
dance, she sought to create dances unfettered by traditional
dance vocabularies. In 1989, the Asian Cultural Council's Japan-United
States Arts Program, which promotes exchanges between visual
and performing artists of these two countries, invited Kasami
to be a Rockerfeller fellow in New York City; there, in a different
cultural environment, she spent time honing her craft. Kasami's introduction to the Feldenkrais Method came in 1993. In 1995, she started to participate in Feldenkrais Method training in New York and became a practitioner in 2000. She was certified as an Assistant trainer in May 2010. Kasami founded Feldenkrais Japan Inc. in November 2003. Most days will find her in the Shinjuku (Tokyo) offices of her company. In addition to offering lessons, Kasami has additional plans for inviting instructors from abroad to teach advanced seminars and workshops as well as developing Feldenkrais Method books, CDs and teaching materials in order to provide a variety of quality services to not only practitioners but the public as well. |
