About MICHIYAYA

MICHIYAYA is an evolving dance company based in New York City and Pittsburgh. Artistic Directors Anya and Mitsuko Clarke-Verdery founded MICHIYAYA Dance as a way to combine their voices as artists—Anya, a Black queer choreographer/dance artist from Brooklyn, and Mitsuko, a white and Japanese queer visual/performance artist from Manhattan. Together we create multidisciplinary works that often recount or reveal a contemporary engagement with queerness, resistant relationships to schemes of oppression and power, cultural constraints on the body and interpersonal relationships, and other revelatory themes.
