Moeno Wakamatsu guides the dancers
“To forget, to be infinitely open, to place our physicality each moment where it is inevitable. The consciousness is available to travel in, through, and beyond time and space. The form and the formless become tangible reality.  The formless manifests and reflects in our physicality, in our energetic structure, in our imagination, in our feelings. For this reality to be experienced by others (audience), a dancer must physically facilitate this phenomenon of appearing. We introduce a basic foundation:  to remove the self and only awareness remains. We undo expressing ourselves, we undo being self-conscious, we undo feeling ourselves.  Then dance that remains is only expression and consciousness and feeling that belong to no self. The consciousness can then exist here, there, everywhere, nowhere. If there is no self in the body, there is no longer separation between the inside and outside world — we become interchangeable at the level of consciousness. Yet the self will somewhere reside, in and out, appearing and disappearing, no longer certain who’s self or what it is, transforming, without any way to expect – this is the journey”.

Lê Quan Ninh guides the musicians
Immediacy, absence of deliberation, rejection of secondary propositions, non-passage from premises to conclusions. (Daisetz Teitaro Suzuki)

Immediacy: not throwing oneself into the action, but perceiving what the action is doing. Absence of deliberation: playing and not playing show equivalence, accepting consequences. Rejection of secondary propositions: to improvise is to have no choice, to stand without decision. No transition from premises to conclusions: improvisation begins and ends at the same moment.
