Yui Ugai was born in Hirohima, Japan. She loved her own city as her playground where she was climbing over the river&trees, planting rice, and watching&welcoming people who came to visit her city in where there are two UNESCO world heritage sites from all over the world. 

She moved to Toronto, Canada in 2011. She puts various hats to work as a dance artist, actor, model, director, producer, and educator. Yui always appreciates and is interested in a collaborative/team effort to create meaningful works and environments for eveyone throughout the process.
