Tranquil, by Saburo Teshigawara

In the piece Tranquil, Saburo Teshigawara interprets the season’s theme All together now/a common sense. What calms us? How do we find tranquility? Is it possible to share our experiences?

“The piece Tranquil is a search for tranquility. Tranquility is such a resource of power for a human being. The experience of tranquility is individual. Depending on your situation in life you seek, and find tranquility in different places, in your body and spirit. At the same time it is universal, ingenuous and something we all need. Today we strive to find it within ourselves, yet at the same time it is the simplest thing in the world” — SABURO TESHIGAWARA.

The fact that dance, the art of movement, could be a way to reach tranquility may sound paradoxical. How do you reach stillness through movement? To Teshigawara this is not strange. Stillness and movement are linked. As counterparts, they need each other to exist.
