DaniMayu stands for an original ButohDance, as passed on to her by first and second generation masters while she lived and learned with them in Japan (2000-2005). Above all, her more than 5-year collaboration with Dairakudakan is formative. Nevertheless, workshops, courses and projects with ButohMasters such as Motofuji Akiko, Kinya 'Zulu' Tsuruyama or Tamano Koichi in Asbestoskan, Ohno Yoshito at Kazuo Ohno Dance Studio and Hiruko Hino and Kasai Akira as well as Semimaru and Toru Iwashita from Sankai Juku contributed to her deep understanding of Butoh.
Even after moving back to Vienna DaniMayu didn’t stop to continue taking ButohClasses with dancers such as Ko Murobushi, Yuko Yuki, Yamamoto Moe, Harada Hiromi, Batarita, Sonja Heller, Yumiko Yoshioka, Yuko Kaseki, Motimaru or Joan Laage I Kohut Butoh.
She took Noguchi Taisou Classes with Arai Hideo in Tokyo and AshtangaYoga Classes in Vienna.
DaniMayu made her debut in 2000 with the solo piece Jiyū [jap. Freedom] in Kochuten, the studio of Dairakudakan in Kichijōji I Tokyo. Since then DaniMayu had numerous appearances in Japan, Austria, South Tyrol.
Since 2005 DaniMayu gives regular ButohCourses and -Workshops in Vienna. 2008 she started to invite guest instructors from abroad to give ButohWorkshops in Vienna.
In 2016, DaniMayu completed her diploma thesis entitled "Butoh4Kids". Here she not only developed a concept of how to teach Butoh to children. It is also an attempt at a philosophical approach to Butoh in order to make the 'experiential dance' Butoh intellectually understandable.
