Manatsu Tanaka BIO

A non-binary Japanese Multidisciplinary artist based in NYC and Tokyo.
They have been performing in Immersive, Physical, Contemporary, and Musical Theater works as a Dancer/Actor/Singer in both countries. Simply from the love of expression and sharing, they also enjoy expressing creativity in origami, Aerial Silks, drawing, creative cocktails, and playing the piano.
Aside from performing, they have been sharing their stories about their O-1 Visa (Artist Visa) process, as a versatile LGBTQ artist and all the unique perspectives gained being a bicultural (13 years in Japan, 13 years in the US!) performer in two amazing cities. They hope to pursue their career as they are highly driven with the passion and ambition to continue to spark conversations about diversity in the theater community in Japan, and to contribute to the diversity and increase the percentage of working AAPI artists in the NYC theater community, shows, and productions; and one day on Broadway.
Recently, they have found their calling as an Understudy/Swing and they hope to continue to pursue this most demanding but so rewarding and the most unique role in theater!
