In performance moving mediations are formed which find beauty in unexpected places, light and dark, inside oneself and out, and which reveal deep essential truths.  These dances focus on the internal movements that resonate and flow with universal energies. Solo improvisations and group pieces use the body’s archives and internal poetry to tap into the collective unconscious and elucidate ancient themes.

           Dancers are asked to transform in order to push the boundaries between the self and the other, man and nature, the animate and inanimate.  The goal is to find and explore the place that exists “in the between”.  Expounding on Tatsumi Hijikata’s idea that, “Butoh is the interstice of life and death”.  The movements that make up these dances are at once small and expansive, meditative and explosive, introverted and extroverted, insane and sane. They have a timeless quality, existing, in Laban Movement Analysis terms, in spell drive.  The dances are trance inducing and mesmerizing, while disembodied, bizarre, and possessed they are formal and focused. They explore the cosmos in a grain of sand.
