Hello Everybody:


I hope this email finds you well.

I have a new show I am dancing in and I would like to share this information with all of you and invite you to see the new show (ticket information is on the attached flier).
I am dancing in a solo piece choreographed by Sashar Zarif and Emily Cheung, based on one of the Chinese female legends. They created a beautiful work together.
It will be shown at the Little Pear Garden Collective's annual concert next weekend, as well as at the Soo Ryu Dance Festival this coming Saturday. The challenge for me was "singing" in the piece which is new for me as a dancer.

If you have time this weekend or next weekend, please join us to celebrate these four legendary Chinese women known for their beauty and strong spirits.
I hope to see you at the theatre.

Keiko

Free Japanese Dance and Music concert Dec. 11, 2009

Odori To Ten

Japanese dance and music night

December 11th 2009 @ 7pm

Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre

I invite you to enjoy an evening to remember with Japanese music, Japanese dance and Japanese culture. The Japanese group Ten Ten is performing a musical concert with dancers from the Japanese community.

I will be performing a piece titled On the Wings / Surrender and it will be a world premiere.

We live, yet we fear how and when we will die. Will we exist after life? Maybe we live the fragile life of a butterfly. Hope gives us our wings and like butterflies we flit and fly - traveling softly and lightly. We carry hope not only because it makes us stronger, it also gives us the breath to believe in rebirth, in reincarnation, in regeneration of life to come. This hope springs eternal and helps us face the inevitable, the death of the corporeal body, the flesh, the finite. Hope feeds us with the dreams of the infinite and of all possibility. The piece is structured improvisation both of music and dance.

Other guest dance artists include:

Meiko Andoh (Butoh);

Junko Hirabayashi (Nihon Buyoh);

Sukika Motoki (Improvisational dance),

Kayo Yasuhara (Kagura-mai - Kagura dance).

This is a free performance but donations can be made at the door. There is also a cash bar for your drinking pleasure. Music CDs will also be available for sale.
