- still the same


To become DANCE itself.
It is a history of my own that is able to follow from the body,
and that leads to memories of human beings, history of universe and future.
Different lives pass through my body,
they live in every breath,
passing through one after another.
They don't remain.
Because it happens in DANCE,
It becomes experiences,
they bring a joy to share and discover together.



踊りそのものになる
体からたどってゆける 私自身の歴史であり
そこからつながる人類の記憶
一瞬一瞬に生き死んでゆく
色んな人生がいくつも私の体を通り過ぎる
迎え入れ送り出す
それはとどまらない
ほかのなんでもない”踊り”のなかで
それが起こるから
それは体験となって皆と共有し
さらに発見してゆける喜びがある

Thank you L'ECO D'UN FLEUVE !!


Thank you so much for coming out to the St-Flying Kidney performance at Festival L'eco d'un Fleuve!

Each performance had a quite different feeling, with different venues! Performing outside on the street under the sky is something, amazing weather on both days helped our experience a lot too!!

沙羅


My mom sent me another photo, a flower of Sal tree.
母、いつもありがとう!!

沙羅といえば、かの有名な平家物語の冒頭の、

祇園精舎の鐘の声   
諸行無常の響きあり   
沙羅双樹の花の色   
盛者必衰の理をあらわす

こういうのって以外と忘れないものなんだね...
実際に(写真だけど)見たの初めてだと思う。
朝に咲き夜には散ってしまう故に儚さのイメージがあるとされているけれど。

最近読んだ斎藤孝著の本に少し書いてあった、平家物語は実は生き生きとした肉体の文学なのだと。また読みたい本たまってきたなぁ。村上春樹著の新しい長編小説も出たって聞いたし。

さて。It's the last day of the shooting for the film, Legend of Atsuko tomorrow, well, today already..
an inside shooting for the scenes of more.. actions!!
