Sonia Kwek
Singapore Butoh Collective Member

Sonia is an interdisciplinary artist who works with performance, movement and the body to create.

Often involving collaboration and transdisciplinary experimentation, she performs, dramaturges, directs, choreographs, facilitates and produces across varying spaces and mediums, including stage productions, site-specific responses, short films, performance-lectures, immersive installations, nightlife gigs, workshops, etc. Sonia’s work explores corporeal sensualities, deconstructs myths/archetypes and delves into the latent unseen to deal with questions about embodiment, gender, and perception.

Informed by her Intercultural Theatre training and Butoh practice, Sonia seeks to shape time-space to centre the expression and experience of the intimate, visceral and erotic.

Sonia was first struck by Butoh at 18 through videos shared by her Theatre Studies teacher. This nudged her towards university studies in Australia, where she was able to train in Butoh regularly with Zen Zen Zo Physical Theatre.

Since then (2010), a lifelong Butoh practice was seeded and she continually seeks out training. Notable Butoh artists she has taken workshops with include Dairakudakan, Sankai Juku, Koichi and Hiroko Tamano, Emiko Agatsuma, Frances Barbe, Vangeline, Sasa Cabalquinto.

Sonia is proud to be part of the Singapore Butoh Collective, which she credits for reigniting her fire for Butoh more boldly. Recent Butoh performances include a solo at ‘Butoh Don’t Cry #6: Birthsong’ at Enclave Bar (Singapore), April 2025 and ‘Cermin Air’, a production choreographed by Agatsuma Emiko at Movement Lab (Yogyakarta), March 2024.

Tan Weiying
Singapore Butoh Collective Member

Weiying is a theatre maker whose practice draws from odissi and butoh. She is currently exploring the intersection of these two forms to develop a movement language of her own.

Her journey with butoh began at the Intercultural Theatre Institute under Frances Barbe, where the intensity and vulnerability of the form opened new possibilities in her body. In 2020, she began training in odissi, which largely reshaped her understanding of movement through its rigour and intricacy. Her continued practice in butoh has given her a sense of freedom and release in movement, balancing the discipline of odissi.

Weiying seeks to deepen her exploration of Butoh through workshops with XUE, Vangeline, Norihito Ishii, Akihito Ichihara and Yumiko Yoshioka, and continues to weave these influences into her work.

Elden Zachery
Singapore Butoh Collective Member

Elden Zachery is a queer Southeast Asian butoh performer and costume crafter. A patchwork of love and pain through generations and sensations – (they) were born to perform the electricity of life.

A sharpened sickle, Elden is anthropologically and ancestrally driven, currently working on expanding equatorial  and sensual embodiment in their practice, with queerness, spirituality and ecology as their morningstar.

The spectrum of work is wide – from campy to haunting, tinkering with avant garde and taboo – existing in film, solo and collaborative live performance, activations, photography and so on…
