  • Orihara represents the unsung technical mastery of Ghibli’s golden age. While directors like Hayao Miyazaki and Yoshifumi Kondō get the credit, Orihara’s pencil gave those characters their souls.

    Yukari Orihara is a fictional character from the Japanese visual novel and anime series "Higurashi: When They Cry." However, I assume you are referring to her as a character and her role in the series.

    A pivot to dance-for-film, Screen/Space was shot in an abandoned shopping mall in New Jersey. Using multiple cameras and Dutch angles, Orihara explored consumerist entropy. This project expanded the definition of Yukari Orihara work to include digital editing as choreography, with jump cuts mirroring her physical jumps.


    Commissioned by the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, this ensemble piece for nine dancers is widely considered Orihara’s breakthrough. The work explores the Japanese concept of ma (negative space). Dancers enter and exit from unexpected corners of the stage, leaving "ghost limbs" in the air. The New York Times described it as "a meditation on absence that somehow feels more full than any spectacle."
