Profile
[Saburo Teshigawara]
After studying classical ballet, he began his own creative activities in 1981. In 1985, he formed KARAS to pursue new expressions that cannot be captured within the existing framework of dance, and he has performed many times at the invitation of major festivals and theaters not only in Japan but also in Europe, America, and other countries.
In addition to her own solo works and group works with KARAS, she has created works commissioned by leading European ballet companies such as the Paris Opera Ballet. He is highly regarded internationally as a world pioneer.
In addition, they have their own philosophy regarding dance education, and since before the foundation of KARAS, they have always held workshops, and to this day, they are focusing on training young dancers in Japan and overseas, and are also enthusiastic about creative activities with the new generation.
