I pursue my dance works to be “a body as zero” on stage.

It is just a body, which has no individual background, no generation, no border, and even no identity.

It is a body for resonance, and it is like a natural phenomenon, which is changing continually like fire or earth.

I think dance is the art of dynamics.

The moment “a body as zero” starts moving with the new power of life created by the operation of music, lights, and the space, I think that is the beginning of dance.

Dance is like a correlation between rising and vanishing energy on a purified body and the way it becomes is just like primitive rites or meditations seeing unknown imagination.
