Salon Series No. 45. Gestures, Mime and Dance Sunday February 3, 2013, 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM
Salon Series No.45 on February 3, 2013 is titled “Gestures in Japanese Dance and Mime” The Japanese people have tended to use more gestures than other peoples, particularly compared to those in the west, and in much subtle manner. The Japanese are known to be less verbal. Why and how we use them in daily life and see any of those are reflected in dance. Our featured guest is a mime, Yass Hakoshima who had lead Yass Hakoshima Movement Theater for 40 years in USA and Europe. Mr. Hakoshima and Sachiyo Ito will give demonstrations to illustrate how a mime draws gestures from daily life as a comparison and to gain further insight. Excerpts from Kabuki dances including Excerpt from /Azuma Hakkei/, and /Haru no Umi/ choreographed by Ito as well as Hakoshima’s ever-popular comic piece, “Fisherman,” will be performed.
Now in its 15th Year, Salon Series is an ongoing program of informative and educational lectures, lecture-demonstrations and performances aimed at those who are interested in deepening their knowledge of the performing arts of Japan. The unique combination of education and entertainment has inspired NY audiences artistically, and intellectually.

On Sunday May 20, 3-4pm, we will hold Salon Series No.43, titled Meditation in Sound and Movement. For the first time in 14 years of Salon Series, this program is presented as a workshop.

Our special guest is Ralph Samuelson, the Shakuhachi Master who has conducted meditation workshops with Shakuhachi for many years in the Zen Mountain Monastery. The Japanese bamboo flute, the shakuhachi, is associated with Zen Buddhism from 16th century Japan. Playing Honkyoku pieces is sometimes referred as Sui-zen (blowing Zen), and focuses on breath, stillness, and concentration with the mind of Za-zen (sitting Zen meditation). Breathe in, breathe out into your flute and listen to the sound. Sachiyo Ito will lead a walking meditation in the tradition of Community of Mindfulness under the teaching of Thich Nhat Hanh.
As a special bonus, a dance which was created last year as a dedication to Japan’s Earthquake victims, titled, “Dedication,” will be performed at the end of the program.
