During Studios Switch I have been developing my Kanji idea physically and visually. I learned the speed of charcoal ink soaking into paper is such a quick motion, like a synapse reacting in our body. The process of creating choreography can proceed on paper through black ink, fiber of paper and brush moves. Japanese calligraphy is living in my long term memory. It was natural to discover rhythms in characters and use them to add another dimension to body movement, although what I was most inspired by was hearing impressions and comments from visitors who did calligraphy with me at Studios Switch.
