Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolBeniko Tanaka is an art director and shadow puppeteer based in the Lisbon metropolitan area with eight years of professional experience creating Japanese cultural projects, workshops, and family-focused performances. As founder of SOL´TA and a long-time freelance theater puppet teacher, she blends traditional Japanese craft—paper cutting, hand-making, and drawing—with contemporary art direction to design immersive shows and educational workshops. Her credits include character design, puppet creation, choreography, and team coordination for operatic shadow puppet productions in Venice, demonstrating an ability to scale intimate craft techniques to larger staged works. Trained in visual arts and crafts at Tama Art University, AR.CO, and Faculdade de Belas-Artes da Universidade de Lisboa (MA), she pairs academic rigor with hands-on making. Notably, she brings an educator’s sensibility to performance, turning cultural transmission into interactive experiences for children and families. Her GitHub persona “Star Platinum” hints at a playful, creative side that complements her meticulous craft practice.
