ATSUSHI
ダンサー/アーティスト
東京生まれ。
1996年にストリートダンスを始める。
2001年から約20年間、日本を代表するミクスチャーロックバンドDragon Ashのメンバーとして活動。同時にプロダンサーとしてのキャリアをスタートさせる。
2006年からはバンドと平行してソロダンサーとしての活動を開始。
以降日本国内では、美術館や博物館、国宝の社寺など歴史的建造物での舞踊、各地の伝統芸能とのコラボレーションをはじめ数多くのアーティストとのセッションライブを行うなど積極的に「他者」と関わりながら自らの身体表現活動を展開。
2009年には生命力の素晴らしさ尊さを伝えるプロジェクト「POWER of LIFE」を発起し、代表として活動を開始。ライブや写真展などの表現活動を通して、動物保護施設アニマルシェルターの支援を行う。
2011年3月11日の東日本大震災被災時に現地に足を運び、復興支援活動を行ったことがきっかけになり、2012年から宮城県塩竈市にて野外フェスティバル「GAMA ROCK FES」を企画し主宰、以降毎年9月に開催。
国外では、アジア、ヨーロッパ、アメリカ、ロシア等にてパフォーマンスを行うほかパリコレクションなどファッションショーにも多数出演、文化交流のアンバサダーを務めるなど活動の幅を広げてきた。
2021年、パリで行ったソロダンス初公演「POWER of LIFE」が高く評価されたことから、2024年、パリを活動拠点とすることを決断。
フランスの才能ビザを取得して渡仏した後は、ソロ公演やフランス在住のアーティストとのコラボレーションなど精力的に活動、2024年夏には南仏のフェスティバルでオペラ公演マダムバタフライに初出演、2025年にリヨンのオペラ座で再演を果たす。
ロックバンドメンバーの第一線から時を経て異国のオペラの舞台に初めて立つという異色で唯一無二のダンサーである。
「命を踊る」
ジャンルや枠にとらわれない踊りと生き方で、表現者、ダンサー、アーティストとして、活動の場を世界に広げ、独自の道を進んでいる。

ATSUSHI
Dancer/Artist
Born in Tokyo, Japan.
Started street dancing in 1996.
For about 20 years from 2001, he was a member of “Dragon Ash”, one of Japan's leading mixed rock bands. He began his career as a professional dancer around the same time.
In 2006, he began dancing solo in parallel with his activities in a band.
Since then, he has been actively connecting with "others" through physical expression work in Japan, including dancing in historical buildings such as museums, shrines and temples registered as national treasures, collaborating with traditional performing arts in various regions, and performing live with numerous artists.
In 2009, he launched "POWER of LIFE," a project to convey the wonder and preciousness of life and presides as a representative of the organization. He supports animal shelters through live performances, photo exhibitions, and other expressive activities.
After he visited the area impacted by the Great East Japan Earthquake disaster of March 11, 2011 and helped with reconstruction, he began planning and presiding over the outdoor festival "GAMA ROCK FES" in Shiogama City, Miyagi Prefecture, which has been held in September every year since its inception in 2012.
Overseas, he has performed in Asia, Europe, the U.S., Russia, among clothes. He has also appeared in numerous fashion shows, including Paris Fashion Week, and continues to expand his activities by serving as an ambassador for cultural exchange.
In 2021, his solo dance performance "POWER of LIFE" in Paris was received with great acclaim. Motivated by this success, he decided to make Paris his base of operations in 2024. After obtaining a talent visa from France, he relocated to the country and has been actively performing solo shows and collaborating with local artists.
In the summer of 2024, he made his operatic debut in “Madama Butterfly” at the Festival in the South of France and again at the Opéra de Lyon in 2025.
From the leading rock band in Japan to the opera stage in Europe, ATSUSHI is a truly unique and exceptional dancer.
“Dancing for Life."
With a dance style and way of life that transcends genres and conventions, ATSUSHI continues to expand his global presence as a performer, dancer and artist, forging his own distinctive path.
