Choreographer / Performer 

Masumi Saito is a Japanese movement artist and choreographer based in London. She has developed a personal understanding of physical expression and discovered possibilities for adopting her movement work into non-traditional dance platforms. In recent years she has worked closely within film and moving image. Collaboration and designing performance space with logic and emotion are central to her practice.

Previously she has performed at HOME Manchester, Tate Britain, Tate Modern, ICA, RCA, Jerwood Space, Hayward Gallery, Kanazawa 21st Century Museum, Edinburgh Fringe, Aldeburgh Festival and Nakanojo Biennale.
