REVIEWS

The body of the dancer and the music from the violin create an emotion, which does not necessarily belong to a specific person, or which does not need to be explained by a specific story. ...What the audience perceive from this peice "Obsession" is the flame of pure emotion fulfilling the stage, touching the audience and overwhelming the whole air.

Dance Magazine August 2010 by Shigeto Nuki

In this piece, dance was not the visualization of the music, and the music was not an accompaniment to the dance. Music and movement both resonate each other maintaining a distance of perfect balance. It was truly a quintessence of performing arts, the art of time.

Yomiuri Newspaper 8/Jun/2010 by Hiroshi Tsutsumi

The untouchable fretfulness that can never be solved. Destruction and rebirth. A superior artist entrusts the future to the huge universe which is far beyond our human providence.
