I am very honored that it is L\u00ea Quan Ninh. There have been several landmarks of great impression or realization that I can remember in my dancing life, and one of such experiences was when I played for the first time with Le Quan Ninh in 2007. It was an experience of incredible clarity of being, and also an intense battle of presences \u2014 as if the self would be swallowed if not strong, at the same time there was a pleasure of being swallowed and to be left self-less. The fragility and the absolute, transparency and density \u2014 all at once.<\/p><p>I would like to approach this collaboration as a Laboratory with Ninh and the dancers (and musicians) who will join us.\u00a0\u00a0 In \u201cSeminars\u201d or \u201cWorkshops\u201d, often people come expecting to be taught. On the contrary, what I would like to \u201cteach\u201d is rather how we can learn from listening to our own selves and the world, and to become the listening.\u00a0 I would like to offer some guidance to facilitate this listening. \u00a0 Although for the sake of practicality I use the words seminars and workshops, I prefer a \u201cLaboratory\u201d where we pursue honest experiences without sense of right or wrong, but not to be tolerant on ourselves for not facing truth, to be strict without judgements or criticisms, to make \u201cmistakes\u201d which are not mistakes, to face great excitement as well as great frustration \u2014 and through all of it to calmly breathe.<\/p><p>I believe that much of what I try to share with dancers in my workshop will become clear in the presence of Ninh and his work, experientially, physically, sensorially.\u00a0 I am often working with things that are not so easily visible or able to be distinguished by the senses except through sensitivity and silence of the consicousness.\u00a0 However, the art of Ninh will suddenly intensify what is there, what is normally not visible nor audible. As vibrations of his sound, one will experience reality physically and organically.<\/p><p>When I stand on stage with Ninh, his presence, his silence, his sound are one: his playing and the sense of space and time cannot be separated \u2014 he simply magnifies and intensifies the felt world, making vibrant. Suddenly, a space that before was nothing will become animated, filled with magic. Ninh\u2019s sound enters through skin, through flesh, not violently but in a way that one cannot resist against. One can sense the flesh vibrating differently from bone, the bone differently from organs, the hair, the fluid, the air that make us \u2014 the vibration is like a consciousness that enters and fills the body \u2014 the body can no longer withstand this heightened awareness, and explodes or implodes into movement. In movement, the sound continues to penetrate. As the sound makes substance of the space around and makes substance of our body, we become the substance of the sound and the outside world.<\/p><p>Ninh\u2019s work has transformed how I experience \u201csound\u201d. When I speak about \u201cNinh\u2019s sound\u201d, I speak not only about the sound that comes from his instruments, but the sound when he plays no physical sound\u2026. If there can be such thing as a \u201cquality of silence\u201d, his silence can have infinite qualities. It would make appear not only the sound of the space or the sound of the breathing of the audience, but even the inaudible sound of the consciousness in the space, or the sound inside my body, sound of my thinking, sound of the audience thinking, sound of memories and feelings. Yet on the other hand, I have experienced with Ninh\u2019s work, as the awareness begins to almost lose the sense of time, I would slip into what seems (feels) like a complete silence \u2014 even if the space is filled with actual sounds \u2014 as if there is nothing, as if no sound exists, and I do not exist. It makes me wonder \u201cwhat is subjectively a sound to me?\u201d<\/p><p>Playing with Ninh I compared once to wearing red shoes \u2014 that the body begins to dance without my will. It is as if the sound and the dance take the will of the world. The body moves without one\u2019s permission, the control wants to lose itself. Or the body will be compelled not to move at all, yet in this non-movement the dance overflows into space. <br \/>Balancing on the tightrope of uncertainty and great sense of realness \u2014 I cannot help that I tremble from excitement and even notice a smile pass on my face as I battle to keep my concentration.<\/p><p>I would want any dancer to experience the richness and the pleasure (and the risk) of playing with Ninh.\u00a0<\/p><p><em>[\u00a9 2024 Moeno Wakamatsu.

Reason forces us to declare that objectively Moeno Wakamatsu is there in front of us but at the same time our senses seem disturbed by a slight turbulence, a shudder of the air, responsible for the uncertain appearance of a vibrating being that can to be in turn so concrete and so transparent. Moeno Wakamatsu invites us both to take the measure of the daily gaze and to slip into the poetry of an uncertain look, where atom after atom, a concentrated presence becomes resonant presence, as diluted in the space it reveals. To see Moeno Wakamatsu on stage is to experience an oscillation between solidity and fluidity, to experience a poetry of appearance and disappearance.<\/p><p><em>Written 2018 by L\u00ea Quan Ninh<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f66b9eb e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"f66b9eb\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;boxed&quot;}\" data-core-v316-plus=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6cadddc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6cadddc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5>Performance Moeno Wakamatsu &amp; L\u00ea Quan Ninh 2010<\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dff9541 elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"dff9541\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/youtu.be\\\/_Vx628h9wdc&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*!
