New solo dance piece by Masaki Iwana 2002

The Intensity of Nothingness

With the five kanil characters, 'han-gi-tal-to-kan' (grilling. sacrifice great nature, dance, mirror). buton's tounder, Tatsumi Milkata encansulated the importance to dancing of sacrificing our own body and soul and treating mature as our mirror or teacher. Through these words, he urged that we dance a material entity hidden within our body, transcending soclety. Institutions and norms. Once we percelve our body as a material entity: morals, dark intentions, desires, concepts of beauty, life and death. vlolence and eros hecome like tiny leaves and are swent along by a torrent into a vortex of the immensely truthful nothingness existing within all the blameless orlgins of the universe. For dancers this nothingness must have intensity.
