Mentor Saburo Teshigawara. Motion is motionless. Stasis initiates fresh motion to emphasise the beauty of stillness.

Illusion/Reality
Luminous combines Teshigawara’s graceful choreography with technological ingenuity: figures move in and out of darkness, multiple reflections scatter around the stage, shadows are thrown against the wall.

Silence/Noise
Absolute Zero in dance is an exploration by Teshigawara of the idea of perfect stillness and order in a chaotic world. The piece is rife with juxtapositions: movement, sound and stage pictures clashing in this voyage of discovery.
