June\u2013July Workshop Performance Tour is Now Underway!<\/h2>\n

Our cast is back together again after the North America “Mystery” tour in winter, and the “Michi,” “Mono-Prism” and “Amaterasu” performances in spring. Every time we come back from a tour, the scenery on Sado Island has changed so much with the seasons that it never looks like we have returned to the same place. I feel the power of nature when I see these dramatic changes. It always makes me ask myself how much I have grown over the same span of time.<\/p>\n

Our “Workshop Performance” cast had been apart working on\u00a0various projects for almost half a year, but when we regrouped I think we had all become stronger and more reliable in many ways.<\/p>\n

For our\u00a0School performances, we perform in front of children who are sitting up close to us. If we tell them, “You can hear our drums even if you block your ears!,” or say “The drums make the air and the floor shake, so the sound also reverberates throughout your bodies!,” the children will block their ears and touch the floor, or even put their ears to the floor to have a listen. They all listen to our performance freely, as they please.<\/p>\n

These sensations are something that they cannot experience through a TV or computer screen: they have to attend a live performance to experience our sound and vibrations like that. Nowadays, there is so much information available through technology and screens, but everyday on our tour I think about how important it is for people to experience and feel sensations offline, with their\u00a0body and senses. I want the children to continue to do this. As I think about this, I continue to hone my own senses.<\/p>\n

On our current tour we have spent almost 3 weeks in Matsumoto, Nagano. We perform 10 times a week, giving performances\u00a0five days a week in the morning and afternoon. Everyday we learn so much from spending time with children, so it is a very fulfilling experience!<\/p>\n

As our tour continues, I look forward to sharing our live sound and powerful vibrations\u00a0with more and more people.<\/p>\n
