If life is unable to repeat,
Would she carry the misery of not being able to repeat death,
Or will she climb up or climb down the incredibly steep slope
Would the ascent be a suffer, or happiness?
Would the descent be terror, or pleasure?
Neither, she says
All I can do is dance with air and falling buoyancy
Her exceptional body expression is nothing but herself

Saburo Teshigawara


SHE is a solo piece danced by Rihoko Sato, and directed by Saburo Teshigawara. Sato is one of the main dancers of KARAS, Saburo Teshigawara’s company. Her unique and exceptional physicality and sensitivity has made her dance vocabulary grow beyond the dance method she has learned from Teshigawara. A completely new dimension of dance improvisation.
