僕の創作の中心にあるのは、身体と精神の深い結びつきです。
目には見えないエネルギーや感覚をすくい取り、可視化することで、人が本来もつ力や気づきを引き出すことを目指しています。
At the heart of my creative work lies the profound connection between body and mind.
I seek to draw out and visualize unseen energies and sensations, revealing the innate awareness and vitality within us.
INTRODUCTION
AmSAT認定マスターティーチャーのもと3年間（1600時間）学び、2024年にアレクサンダーテクニーク教師養成課程を修了。
Alexander Techniqueの技法を基に、体と精神の繋がりを探求する革新的なアーティストです。作品を通して、身体の動きや感覚、内面的な状態を視覚的に表現し、深い感情的体験を提供します。
インスタレーションやパフォーマンスアートに加え、国内外のさまざまなアーティストとのコラボレーションや、映像作品へのパフォーマーとしての出演も積極的に行っています。観客が作品に参加できる体験型のパフォーマンスやワークショップなど、インタラクティブなイベントを通じて、自己認識と成長の機会を提供。アートが心と体の結びつきを深める力を提示しています。
After completing a 3-year (1,600-hour) teacher training program in 2024 under an AmSAT-certified master teacher, I now work as an innovative artist exploring the deep connection between body and mind through the Alexander Technique. My work visually expresses physical movement, sensory experience, and inner states, offering audiences profound emotional experiences.
In addition to installations and performance art, I actively collaborate with a wide range of artists both in Japan and internationally, and appear as a performer in film and video projects. Through interactive, participatory performances and workshops, I create opportunities for audiences to deepen self-awareness and personal growth, demonstrating how art can strengthen the bond between body and mind. My practice spans exhibitions at galleries and museums as well as immersive events in diverse spaces.
全ての人の人生はそれそのものが芸術である

Alexander Technique とは
アレキサンダー・テクニークは、私たちが無意識のうちに身につけた身体の使い方や反応の癖に気づき、それを手放していく教育的なアプローチです。
不必要な緊張に気づき、意識的にやめる選択をすることで、姿勢や呼吸が自然に整い、動きがより楽でしなやかになります。
音楽・演劇・スポーツなどのパフォーマンス分野だけでなく、日常生活や健康面でも効果を発揮します。
このメソッドは、心身のつながりに着目した教育的な手法として120年以上の歴史があります。
私たちは日常の中で、身体を固めたり必要以上の力を使ったりする習慣を無意識に身につけていますが、アレキサンダー・テクニークではそうした緊張のパターンを”やめる”方法を学びます。
その結果、本来の自然でバランスの取れた身体の使い方を取り戻し、姿勢や呼吸が整うだけでなく、
動きが軽くなりパフォーマンスや自己認識の質も高まっていきます。
The Alexander Technique is an educational approach that helps us become aware of unconscious habits in how we use our bodies and how we respond to daily situations, and learn to let go of them.
By releasing unnecessary tension, posture and breathing naturally improve, and movement becomes lighter and more effortless.
This technique is widely applied not only in music, theater, and sports performance, but also in everyday life and overall well-being.
Furthermore, the Alexander Technique has a history of over 120 years as an educational method focused on the connection between mind and body.
In our daily lives, we often develop unconscious patterns of tightening the body or using more effort than necessary.
Through this technique, we learn how to stop those habitual patterns, allowing us to regain our natural coordination and balance.
As a result, posture and breathing improve, movement becomes easier and lighter, and both performance quality and self-awareness are enhanced.
