Part IV: Void Days


Void Days
Something a Little Different

空 Kū or sora, most often translated as "Void", but also meaning "sky" or "Heaven", is associated with creativity, spontaneity and inventiveness. Our void performances were a little out of the box, blending traditional Japanese dance with highly creative and out of the norm settings and special effects. 

  
Sensei Jinchi-sama produced a larger than life version of her performance: “Metamorphosis.” It was an interesting look at what happens to the world when one falls asleep. I particularly loved the costume changes and the fantastical stage design, pictured below.


Tomesode shinzo Hamayu-chan produced a void version of “The Princess Firefly.” Like “Metamorphosis”, this performance featured costumes change and a change in the stage design. By the end of the performance, Hamayu’s simple outdoor setting had morphed into a fantasy garden, complete with a firefly princess.
