CV
PROFILE
While studying in the Department of Performing Arts, Faculty of Literature and Arts at Kindai University, I started a theater company and began theater activities.
Later, at IAMAS (Institute of Advanced Media Arts and Sciences), I focused on creating works and conducting research based on their performance experience.
After graduation, I worked at the Yamaguchi Center for Arts and Media [YCAM], NTT InterCommunication Center [ICC] and Civic Creative Base Tokyo [CCBT].
I have supported artists in various fields, including media art, contemporary art, theater, and performance, by assisting in the creation of artworks (programming, modeling), as well as serving as an operator or stage manager for events.
I'm also part of the unit “DrillBros,” exploring and experimenting with the relationship between video and performance/live art.
In 2023, We founded arsaffix Inc.
For my activities from 2023 onwards, please refer to the official arsaffix website.
