Kaori Nishio

Playwright
©Nobuhiko Hikiji

Born in Tokyo in 1985. Playwright, director, artistic director of theatre company Bird Park. After a childhood in Malaysia she researched Shuji Terayama at University of Tokyo (B.A.), and Shogo Ota at Tokyo University of the Arts (M.A.), and founded Bird Park in 2007. In her works, she’s trying to cast a soft light on the marginalized existence excluded from the “correct” society with dry humour. She was nominated for the 58th KISHIDA Kunio Drama Award with “KANRO (Sweet drops from heaven)” and for the 62nd with “Hey God, Job’s calling you”. Furthermore, her major works were performed at Festival/Tokyo, Fujinokuni Arts Festival and so on. Since 2015 she has been a junior fellow of The Saison Foundation.
