Min Tanaka (Dancer)

Tanaka began his own expressive activities in 1974 and evolved “hyper-dance,” emphasizing psycho-physical unity of the body. In 1978, he made his international debut at the Louvre and the following decade saw his avant-garde performances in former communist countries highly acclaimed among cultural and intellectual pioneers of the time.
He moved to a mountain village in 1985 and he continues his artistic activity with farming as its basis to date. Since his first film appearance in 2002, he has continued expanding his scope of activities in moving images nationally and internationally. His publications include My Bare Body (Boku wa zutto hadaka datta) (2011); Conscious Body, Contagious Mind (Ishin denshin) (co-authored, 2013); and photo books include Min Tanaka—Between Mountain and Sea: Photography by Masato Okada” (2007); Last Movement: Itaru Hirama/Min Tanaka, vol. I and II” (2013); and Photosynthesis MIN by Keiichi TAHARA (2016). The Unnameable Dance, a feature documentary film featuring Min Tanaka, directed by Isshin Inudo.
