Sachi Sekimoto

Sachi Sekimoto (she/her) is a Professor at Minnesota State University, Mankato, specializing in multisensory artistic practices that bridge performance, therapy, and embodied experience. Her work interrogates sensory perception through interdisciplinary creative methodologies.

Her research focuses on:

• Multisensory Art Installations: Creating environments that engage sight, sound, touch, and proprioception simultaneously
• Kinaesthetic Choreography: Developing movement systems centered on therapeutic touch and bodily awareness
• Sensory Integration Practices: Exploring how touch therapy modalities can transform audience-performer relationships in live performance

Professor Sekimoto's creative output demonstrates consistent exploration of somatic awareness through collaborative performance projects, notably her work on "The Direction of Ease" which synthesizes dance, touch therapy, and choreographic structures to challenge conventional sensory boundaries in art.
