Hideto Heshiki

I was born 1971 on the southern island Okinawa in Japan and spent my whole childhood there. As a boy I was very active and planed to become a baseball player (later I switched my goal towards becoming a soccer player) – but as it is with destiny: all turned out differently and I ended up studying „law“ in Tokyo. In the big city though, I discovered many new things and got deeply involved in the dance world. I took many classes in ballet, pantomime and jazzdance and my former sporttraining as well as the taek-wondo and karate experiences helped me quiet a bit!

Soon then I entered the Butoh-Dance Group „Kim Itho & The Glorious Future“ and suddely we where nominated to participate at a competition in Paris, to represent our country. It was all exiting and when I got the unexpected offer from the Cie L’Alambic to stay and work in Paris, I just took the chance.

Since 1999 I am living and working in europe, dancing for different groups: a.o. I spent nearly 3 years at the Stadttheater Freiburg in Germany with Amanda Miller. Working as a dancer and choreographer.

Since 2003 I am living and creating my own choreographic work in Zurich. (if you like to get additional information about it, you are warmly welcomed to visit my website: www.hidetoheshiki.com)

I gained numerous experiences in teaching at the theaters an das a free-lance instructor and now I want to offer trainings in Gyrotonic and Gyrokiesis not only for professionals, but for everybody who is interested in movement. As well I lead the Teacher Training for futher Gyrotnic and Gyrokiesis instructors.
