They have had several durational improvisations combining rituals of tea ceremony, physical expression of Butoh and dance.
Some participants have also joined to the improvisation and shared the feedbacks.
Quotes from the participants
“..suspended state of gratitude. The experience made me feel calm, inquisitive, slower somehow..”
"Movement freedom contrasted clarity of ceremony..After feel great respect everyday life + the unexpected"
“The intensity of sensation. Sweet bitter edging on my bones.”
