She is also a certified master of traditional Japanese dance (odori) in the S\u014dke Fujima school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nakajima received her doctorate from Freie Universit\u00e4t Berlin with a dissertation on the aging body in dance.

As a pioneer in the field of dance dramaturgy, Nakajima has collaborated with artists across Asia, Europe, and North America. She has worked frequently with major international performing arts platforms in Japan, including Festival\/Tokyo and its successor, Tokyo Festival; Kyoto Experiment; and the Performing Arts Meeting in Yokohama (TPAM, now YPAM), contributing as a dramaturg, curator, program director, mentor, lecturer, and project initiator. Her dramaturgical work with Luciana Achugar on Exhausting Love at Danspace Project<\/em> received a New York Dance and Performance Award (Bessie) in 2006\u201307. In 2017, Nakajima received a Special Commendation of the Elliott Hayes Award for Outstanding Achievement in Dramaturgy from the Literary Managers and Dramaturgs of the Americas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her research and artistic practice focus on dance dramaturgy, aging bodies, intercultural performance, and the relationship between archives and embodied histories. Her research on aging and dance has contributed significantly to international discussions in dance and performance studies, particularly since the publication of The Aging Body in Dance<\/em> in 2017. Her projects include Dance Archive Boxes<\/em> at TPAM 2016; the Yvonne Rainer Performative Exhibition<\/em> at Kyoto Art Theater Shunju-za in 2017; dramaturgical work with Wang Mengfan at the Wuzhen Theatre Festival in China in 2019; Dance Archive Box Berlin<\/em> at the Akademie der K\u00fcnste in 2020; and Noh to Trio A<\/em> at the Nagoya Noh Theater in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nakajima is frequently invited to speak at international academic and artistic events. She has delivered keynote lectures at Universidade Cat\u00f3lica Portuguesa, the National Taiwan University of Arts, the University of British Columbia, and the Institute of Dance & Media in Korea. She has also initiated and organized major international symposia arising from her research, including The Aging Body in Dance<\/em> in Berlin in 2012 and Tokyo in 2014, as well as the first Dramaturgs\u2019 Meeting in Kyoto in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From 2022 to 2024, Nakajima served as Faculty Dramaturg at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity in Canada, supporting internationally selected dance artists and companies during their creative residencies. Since 2022, she has served as a mentor for Critical Practice in Contemporary Performance ([CP]\u00b3)<\/em>, in Singapore. She has served as a jury member for the Cairo International Festival for Experimental Theatre in Egypt (2020), Esplanade \u2013 Theatres on the Bay in Singapore, and the Keir Choreographic Award in Australia (2022).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her publications include Dance Dramaturgy: Modes of Agency, Awareness and Engagement<\/em> (Palgrave Macmillan, 2015), The Aging Body in Dance: A Cross-Cultural Perspective<\/em> (co-edited with Gabriele Brandstetter, Routledge, 2017), and Oi to Odori<\/em> (Aging and Dancing<\/em>, co-edited with Kikuko Toyama, Keiso Shobo, 2019). Her forthcoming book, Dance Dramaturgies of Aging<\/em>, will be published by Routledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
