The Music and Dance News 1 Oct 2012 edition, by Hiromi Harada
The dance (of Sato) was sometimes with velocity of life force scattering, but penetrated with feather-like swiftness. In addition, there were changes of expression of the body like an abstract transformation with regulation and expanding stretchiness. The axis of the body was like a mobile, fluid and phantasmagoric. This is the miraculous dance with air that Japan’s Teshigawara created. And what was at the basis of this must be “breathing”, as in the title…
And towards the end of the piece, there was the dance of Sato and Teshigawara, which was breathtakingly mobile and even made us feel the preciousness and transience of life. It was astonishing to be reminded that all this quality was brought from the tremendous concentration towards breathing and the sense of the body.
