Overview
Orita Katsuko is a creator of innovative contemporary dance. This new work 'Tao', bring the ceremony of her 1979 piece 'City of Memory' and transforms it in a more open space. It is an exploration of what can occur when the internal mechanisms and inherent drama of human beings intersect, which has been externalised and manifests in work of the dancers and choreographer. Tao shows ancient dreams to heretics whose memories are stuck in the past, opening their minds to the future. (Taken from the performance program)
-Presented at the Orita Katsuko Dance Performance as part of the Dance Performance Tokyo '85 Festival of Tao.
