Kazuma has been a pioneer in the experimental dance battle scene since the 2000’s; winning multiple international titles with his signature finger dance concept (YUBI Technique) and developing theatrical pieces with it. As a member of the legendary TAET VREMYA crew, he has curated its members in his productions ‘Bäättle’ and ‘Battle in Nature’ with LAKE Studios Berlin: challenging the improvisers with objects, themes and locations, creating spontaneous co-created dramaturgy. As an MC/Host, Kazuma weaves together the experiences created in the moment into a through line, fostering the sense of community, playing from comedic to serious as needed.
As founding member of LAKE Studios Berlin, Kazuma has been active with the local community doing Hip Hop Tanz Theater shows and battles with children that take his course bringing many smiles and laughter.
He has also developed a method to dance in natural waters connecting with nature and others. While referencing and drawing parallels with contact improvisation, martial arts, waving and other street dance forms, the aim is to carry the quality of water on to our everyday lives on land.
