I had the opportunity to attend the October 12, 2013 performance of Life by Vancouver's Kokoro Dance company at the Roundhouse Performance Centre. Very inspiring! This was the first time I attended a butoh-inspired performance.

Barbara Bourget, Jay Hirabashi and the five other dancers gave a memorable interpretation of life "from the moment of birth to the instant of our passing."

Choreography by Barbara and Jay; set design by Kai Chan; music by Lee Pui Ming; costumes by Tsuneko Kokubo; lighting by Gerald King. All these elements meshed seamlessly to provide the audience with a captivating show!
