“Compare to our modern life, the human need to be able to coordinate many different processes. The world gets more informative and functional available. Many things happen at the same time, and this makes it even more important for man to be centred in him self aware and awake at the same time.
The nature is one of our biggest inspiration sources for life and art. We feel connected essential and touched deeply. We are impressed and overwhelmed by its complexity even in small details.
A work with our unified body is like an open gate to awareness and creative flow. We can stimulate all elements of human nature. Our personality is unique; experienced in a bigger collective aspect like the nature it gives deep mindfulness and spiritual satisfaction, together with authenticity in our alert body..
Receiving creative coaching helps you to use all your resources, both physical and mentally. To be able to move and to be moved, awake your creative talents in many way and stimulate your innovative potential together with increasing your life energy, health and happiness either for art or life.

PERFORMANCES
Kokoro Dance
March 11–12, 7 pm, Roundhouse Community Centre, Vancouver, B.C.
Free performance!
L.S.D. is a deeply evocative and provocative performance investigating the themes of love, sex and death through the filter of Japanese butoh. Butoh and Flamenco share a desire to reveal the passionate soul of the dancer. In 2011, Kokoro Dance's L.S.D. will be merged with L.S.D. of Flamenco Rosario to create a full evening work incorporating the performers and creators from both companies.
Kitt Johnson
March 16–17, 8 pm, Roundhouse Community Centre, Vancouver, B.C.
Kitt Johnson, one of Denmark’s most renowned choreographers dances the breadth of life in Rankefod, a solo piece that narrates the evolution of humankind from primordial slime to present day form. Johnson transforms like a piece of human origami through metamorphoses of reptile, insect, animal and finally, human – to an electronic soundscape of a natural world. Critics hail her as a “magical dance animal who continuously spellbinds the eye”.
In 2009, Rankefod was nominated for a Canadian performing arts prize— the DORA — as best dance performance of the season. A mesmerizing dance experience that captivates your memory, Rankefod promises to be one of the most riveting performances you will ever see. It has a strange, haunting beauty that strikes a chord in all who have witnessed it.

Reply / a catalog of circles and incomplete cities
March 5, 6, at 8pm
March 7, at 4pm
Tableau Stations / Isak Immanuel , cokaseki / Yuko Kaseki, and guests
From falling, floating, disappearing, and appearing... Pieced together from an international collaborative, the performance work constructs a series of tableaux negotiating the edge space of landscape and circularity in the shared quotidian spaces of a city. Extracting for movement and image from Milan Kundera's “The Book of Laughter and Forgetting”, and what he terms the "magic of the circle dance", the mixed ensemble cast and a roaming camera move in and out of architectural patterns, place, and placelessness, exploring the nuances between memory, response, replication, and transformation. Compositions for music box, songs of Joni Mitchell, and disparate frames of silence create a score. Video shifts amidst the mixed topographies of Los Angeles, San Francisco, Volos, Genoa, and Berlin.
Performance: Yuko Kaseki (Berlin), Isak Immanuel (SF), Jorge Rodolfo De Hoyos (SF), Monique Goldwater (SF)
Musical Compositions / Sound : Antonis Anissegos (Berlin), Végtam Váltam (Mexico City), Barton McGuire (Oakland)
