BIO Terra Norihiro Terazawa

Norihiro Terazawa is a storyteller, actor, and story coach with a unique global journey. Born in a farming family near Nagoya, Japan, he studied business before training in acting and storytelling across Israel, Europe, and South Africa. His path led him to Berlin and eventually to The Hague, where he now co-directs the DISC Storytelling Center.

Rooted in both traditional and contemporary practices, Norihiro creates original performances inspired by music, movement, psychology, and nature. His storytelling often reflects his connection to Natural Farming, which he learned in his youth under Kawaguchi-san. These experiences shaped his commitment to themes like sustainability, harmony, and living in rhythm with nature.

As a coach and facilitator, Norihiro designs immersive storytelling labs that invite audience participation and feedback, fostering creativity and collective discovery. He believes storytelling is not just performance—it’s an act of shared presence and transformation.

Outside of his work, Norihiro enjoys traveling, spending time in nature, and self-education. His work continues to evolve at the intersection of art, ecology, and human connection, inviting audiences into meaningful dialogue and imaginative exploration.
