Anan Atoyama was born in Fukuoka, Japan.<\/b><\/p>

After a childhood and adolescence steeped in classical dance, she left Japan to study psychology in the United States.
It was during these years that she discovered the richness of modern dance, and, once again captivated by movement, she moved to New York for three years. elle s\u2019installe \u00e0 New York durant trois ans.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

There, she studied the styles of Martha Graham, Trisha Brown, and Merce Cunningham <\/b>and participated in various choreographic projects.<\/p>\n

Her experience of the September 11, 2001, attacks in New York led her to participate for two years (2004\u20132006) in the development of the Mahdia and Monastir Dance Conservatories (Tunisia) \u00e0 participer pendant deux ans (2004-2006) au d\u00e9veloppement des Conservatoires de danse de Mahdia et de Monastir (Tunisie)<\/b><\/p>\n

In 2007, upon returning to Japan, she presented her first solo performance, Daichi, at the Dance Hakushu festival organized by Min Tanaka,<\/b>where she was invited back the following year to continue her choreographic exploration.<\/p>\n

Entre 2009 et 2011, elle est engag\u00e9e par la compagnie AToU (France) et d\u00e9veloppe des projets au Nicaragua, en Italie et en Pologne, au travers de r\u00e9sidences artistiques et de festivals.<\/p>\n

En 2012, elle chor\u00e9graphie Love, Madness and Mysticism<\/i> sur la musique de John Zorn<\/b> (rencontr\u00e9 lors sa p\u00e9riode new yorkaise) ainsi qu’un projet d’improvisation danse\/musique avec un autre musicien international, Keiji Haino<\/b>. Cette derni\u00e8re performance ouvre pour la Cie AToU un programme de r\u00e9sidence artistique de cinq ans \u00e0 Vaulx-en-Velin<\/b>. Cette p\u00e9riode signe les cr\u00e9ations de plusieurs \u0153uvres, en collaboration avec des disciplines artistiques vari\u00e9es : WelCOME<\/i> (architecture), SHiNMu<\/i> (arts num\u00e9riques), Mille Oasis<\/i> (sc\u00e9nographie) et Love Me Softly \/ Kill Me Tender<\/i> (DJ, texte et architecture)<\/p>\n

Anan Atoyama explore \u00e9galement \u00e0 cette \u00e9poque la co-cr\u00e9ation<\/b> avec un groupe de 380 personnes, en r\u00e9unissant les diff\u00e9rences d\u2019\u00e2ge, de culture, de corporalit\u00e9, de personnalit\u00e9 et de genre. Parmi ses projets exp\u00e9rimentaux figurent le D\u00e9fil\u00e9 \u00e0 la Biennale de la danse de Lyon 2016 et TransForme<\/i> (2013-2017), ou les participants sont impliqu\u00e9s dans chaque composant des cr\u00e9ations. <\/p>\n

En 2017, elle collabore \u00e0 nouveau avec Keiji Haino, pour une pi\u00e8ce impuls\u00e9e par Carolyn Carlson, en hommage \u00e0 Kazuo Ohno : Hidden Body<\/i>, pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 en premi\u00e8re \u00e0 Fabrica Europa (Italie)<\/b>.<\/p>\n

En 2019, elle initie un cycle de travaux croisant art et science avec Limpid Sun<\/i>, une \u0153uvre r\u00e9alis\u00e9e en collaboration avec le biologiste Pierre-Henri Gouyon du Mus\u00e9um national d’histoire naturelle, pr\u00e9sent\u00e9e au Festival international d\u2019art contemporain de Setouchi Triennal (Japon)<\/b>, puis le projet Dynamic Origin, <\/i>invit\u00e9e par Srinivas Lab (Laboratoire d\u2019embryologie de l\u2019universit\u00e9 d\u2019Oxford)<\/b> de 2020 \u00e0 2021. <\/p>\n

En 2022, elle d\u00e9bute un cycle de recherche sur les questions de migration<\/b> qui voit \u00e9merger la performance Island without Sea. <\/i>Inspir\u00e9e par les r\u00e9cits de r\u00e9fugi\u00e9s et la Convention de Gen\u00e8ve, cette performance applique les principes de sa m\u00e9thode de co-cr\u00e9ation en temps r\u00e9el, intitul\u00e9e Cr\u00e9ation Directe<\/b>. 400 personnes participent \u00e0 la performance lors du Festival Contre-Sens (septembre 2024).<\/p>\n

En F\u00e9vrier 2026, elle pr\u00e9sente \u00e0 Paris sa nouvelle Cr\u00e9ation Directe, Atlas des Souffles<\/strong>, dont la th\u00e9matique scientifique et sociologique est la mont\u00e9e du niveau des oc\u00e9ans et l’impact sur les populations de ces territoires. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
