dance connection | portrait of simon yoshida

Since 2016 Simon performs in Zagreb. Before he danced in Paris, Poland and of course Japan, the country where he grew up. For HNK he danced around ten roles, some together with Miruna.

When we met first time, Simon was not able to work/dance due to an injury, which led to an interesting conversation about the Croatian health system and the worry dancers (especially foreigners) can have due to a bad injury. Life as an artist certainly is not easy.

Happily he told me during the photo session that he started to work/dance again and his first performance will be in mid April (Peter Pan under choreography of Giorgio Madia) which is great news and I hope he will do great.

Simon was nominated by Miruna Miciu. When I asked her what she likes about him, she answered without hesitation “his beauty, not only physical but also his inner beauty”.

On top I noticed his calmness, not only from the outside, but also from inside, and I think both reflect quite well in the images. Because of this, the opening image is my favorite, on purpose soft to accent the calmness.
