Kasumi is internationally celebrated as one the the leading innovators of a new art form synthesizing film, sound and video in live performance. She has won global acclaim for her richly expressive and compelling compositions in venues worldwide: from Lincoln Center with The New York Philharmonic to collaborations with Grandmaster Flash and DJ Spooky. She performed and exhibited work at Württembergischen Kunstverein Stuttgart and at the Chroma Festival de Arte Audiovisual in Guadalajara, Mexico, and her newest work, BREAKDOWN, premiered at Carnegie Hall in concert with the American Composers Orchestra. She was recently awarded an EMPAC Dance Movies Commission 2009- 2010, supported by The Jaffe Fund for Experimental Media and Performing Arts, Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
