tarinainanika is an international theatre company specialising in Corporeal Mime. Directors Kentaro Suyama and Tania Coke trained in London with Steven Wasson and Corinne Soum (last assistants of the founder of Corporeal Mime, Etienne Decroux) and were long-time members of their company, Theatre de l’Ange Fou. In 2010 Kentaro and Tania moved to Tokyo where they set up tarinainanika with the aim of developing Corporeal Mime in Japan through teaching and creating. In 2019 they relocated to Osaka where they renovated an old carpet warehouse. From their base at the Flying Carpet Factory they run the company as well as a school offering full-time training in Corporeal Mime. Despite the British connection this is their first time to participate in the Edinburgh Fringe. To make up for it, they are presenting not one but TWO of their pieces at the Fringe: Tokyo Fugue and The Same Boat. The company is excited to be sharing their work through this fantastic platform and looking forward to connecting with other performers, artists and theatre-lovers from the UK and across the globe.
