Works
About
Born in Japan. I studied at Osaka University of Arts. I continued my training at the Centre de Développement Chorégraphique Toulouse/Midi-Pyrénées. As a dancer, I worked with choreographers Frank Micheletti (Koko Doko,
Mondes Monde, Coupures, Archipelago, Tiger Tiger Burning Bright) and Eun Yong Lee and, as an actress, with theater director Pascal Rambert (To Lose, Toute la vie, Avant que tu reviens, Libido Sciendi). I also work in collaboration with Jean-Frédéric Chevalier, Lorenzo De Angelis, Brune Campos.
At the same time, I have always had a certain practice of drawing. In 2018 I began personal work. I created NAKAMI in 2021. TAMANEGI 2022, KUROKO 2025.
Each of my projects has its origins in my work with drawing. I use drawing as a way of looking at myself and talking to myself on a daily basis. I draw what I feel in daily life as a mother, wife, woman and individual. Since NAKAMI, drawing has been my preferred medium of expression for accessing her inner worlds and initiating creation: at once a medium for creation, a script, a score or a portfolio, it helps me to cut through the layers of the mille-feuilles of which I composed, and to free myself from the limits of the represented or danced body. Each series of drawings I produces then gives rise to a set design that I creates to introduce the body and
create a piece.
Since 2024 I have been supported by Grand Studio.
