Windscapes – Shanghai

Overview

"I don't know whether the wind has a colour or not
but there is a landscape to be seen in every changing wind.
People have been dancing since seeing the landscape in the wind.
Happily, if that landscape is seen when one is a boy
that boy will surely become a dancer.
But unfortunately, it is sad for those who see the landscape in the wind in the middle of their lives
who might otherwise have reach the end without ever knowing."

-Presented at the Modern Dance Performance funded by the Agency for Cultural Affairs in 1983.
-The brains behind Orita's work during the 1980s were:
Script - Konno Yuichi
Artwork - Maeda Tetsuhiko
Lighting - Sawada Yuji"
