Dear Friends,
We are pleased to announce the release of Chapter 6 of our Artistic Director’s poignant memoir, titled “Transformation” in which Sachiyo Sensei reflects on many faces of transformation and change. Set against a backdrop of a societal shift - the beginning of the AIDS crisis in the early 1980s - she delves into the theme of transformation, central to her life and work as a Japanese dancer. Her personal stories offer a window into the transformative power of art, pride, and inspiration, serving as a testament to the resilience that comes from facing whatever changes the future may bring.
We look forward to reading more from Sachiyo Ito about how iconic aspects of Japanese culture have shaped her creative spirit and life’s work. Please stay tuned for updates on future memoir chapter releases.
Thank you, and please have a wonderful summer!
Best wishes,
Sachiyo Ito & Company
