Mariko Miyata-Jancey is a fearless and open Japanese-Norwegian multidisciplinary artist, based just outside Oslo.  

Educated in dance, choreography and writing, her projects are mainly situated within performing arts and writing, exploring the potential of each specific art form.  

Throughout her career, she has explored different aspects of human existence, such as sexuality, motherhood, and love.  

Identity is an important recurring theme in her work: sexual and gender identity, as well as the performing of oneself and performativity in everyday life.  

Other important themes include coexistence and moral responsibility. 

Her projects span the range from children’s books all the way to experimental dance performance.   

She is always eager to learn and can often be found in the middle of a deep dive into her own thoughts and emotions – exploring the strange experience of existence.
