It is based on Confucian, Shinto, Buddhist and Zen principles. The Samurai Creed is a poem written by an anonymous samurai in the fourteenth century, and it depicts the fusion between these religions, philosophies, and ways of living. These are the ideas the samurai honored and those by which they lived. Beyond time, space, culture, and gender, something unchangeable abides in all of our spirits. Searching for the royalty and glory of life, the spirit continues to live in a foreign land and space…..<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n ?UX=?UR <\/strong><\/em>(duet) (2005) @ BAX\/Brooklyn Arts Exchange, NY To hear, talk, listen, read, watch, imagine —- everything we process constructs who we are, who we are to become. Without awareness, without being selective, we risk allowing unfavorable thoughts and negative energies to seep into our experiences and color our perceptions. What You X is What You Are<\/i> asks: \u201cHave you remained true to your essential self?\u201d<\/p>\n The dancers use movement to allude to ingesting, digesting, regurgitating, and rejecting. They alternate between their own lone preoccupations and coming together to threaten, test, abuse and control. With a touch of humor, Kitamura takes a look at the external world of information and stimulation, and through unique movement choices, suggests how these forces influence a sense of self.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Degrees of Breath<\/i><\/strong> (solo) (2004) @ BRICK studio, WAX, and Thomas Hunter Hall, Hunter College, NY<\/p>\n It is a work that addresses the mysteries of breathing. It is based on understanding of how breath influences choices in movements. In this work, there are two opposing creative instincts: the instinct to control and manipulate the body, and the instinct to permit breath to liberate and release it.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n GL(R)OW<\/strong> <\/em>(2003) @ WAX, Williamsburg, NY<\/p>\n Inner<\/strong> Loop<\/strong><\/em> (2003) @ The Kaye Playhouse, NY<\/p>\n “<\/em>Old thinking pattern\u201d shapes behaviors in the present. The karmic pattern (cause and reaction) creates the same story over and over, even with different people and different circumstances by trapping oneself in the \u201cpast\u201d by repeating the same story.<\/p>\n This piece presents inner state, not only psychological realization and disturbance but also \u201cactions inside of a head.\u201d What the audiences see is the actual actions of remembering and recollections of the inside of dancers\u2019 mind: physical action of the PRESENT and psychological action of the PAST, simultaneously.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n (among others)<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" OPERA \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Blood Moon (dancer\/puppeteer\/choreographer) by Beth Morrison Project @ Prototype Festival, NYC The Indian Queen (Mayan God\/Dancer) by Dir.
