Yoko Haveman (1994, Brazilian/Japanese) is an interdisciplinary maker; choreographer, performer, and director working across both theatre and film. Her work collides dance performance, visual poetry, and experimentation with themes such as eroticism, trauma, and idealism. A graduate of the Academy of Theatre and Dance in Amsterdam, she has collaborated with renowned artists and companies including Ann van den Broek, De Dansers, Rauwkost, and Dansateliers.
She creates sensorial experiences in which the body becomes an integral part of the narrative. Her previous works, such as Solastalgia (2023), Conundrum (2022), and the upcoming dance film NOSEBLEED (2025), demonstrate her experimental language and her desire to confront, move, and invite audiences into deep vulnerability and reflection.
In 2022 was Yoko nominated for the Young Swan Award in the category of Most Impressive Performance for the production Vier by De Dansers, presented by the Association of Theatre and Concert Hall Directors (VSCD, NL).
