波止場のワークショップ2019 参加者からの 'Reflection' です。

Wharf Reflection

1. What I Did

I listened with ears, with eyes, with body, with mind, with heart.

I spoke with words, but also with my face, my hands, my body, and my heart.

I learnt new languages (especially the Japanese language), new cultures, new body vocabularies, ideas, concepts, structure, and creation method.

2. What I Will Do

On a personal level, I will practise the exercises learnt such as banana roll, breathing exercise and awareness of space. I will keep the spirit of wharf workshop in my heart and continue to explore and cross borders (country/generation/genre/tradition & contemporary/east & west).

Moving forward, I will share what I have learnt with fellow Singaporean artists, and with the students I am currently teaching. I hope to start small local projects with my students, and also fellow Singaporean artists.

Moving further, I hope to engage the other participants at Wharf workshop and initiate dialogues and collaboration work in their countries as well as in Singapore.

To myself: What legacy do I want to leave behind?

To Makoto: What do you hope to see 100 years later?
