This unique cross-cultural collaboration brought together Japanese Nihon Buyoh, a dance style seen in kabuki theater, and Indonesian gamelan music. The original performance piece is entitled “Laughing Waters.” The sound and sight of flowing water is connected with both artistic traditions involved, and is also an important symbol for the Twin Cities and Minnesota. The commissioned piece was performed on the Pantages Theater stage at the Minneapolis MOSAIC celebration on Saturday, June 4, 2011 (time TBA). For more information, see www.greentproductions.org.
