Jamie James Wenger

“These choreographers burble with ideas
and warmly embrace the notion of
collaborating with their dancers.”

The Washington Post

Oashisu, is what happened while reuniting with each other after a rough year, when all were in need of a vacation from themselves and ready to connect to a place as free of habit as possible.

The Japanese concepts of "ma" (a creative space in which the essence of artistic relationships are made tangible) and "kansha" (simultaneous gratitude and appreciation) provided the framework for this work of tectonic shifts, seismic surprises, and deep calm.

Conceived and Choreographed by • Sara Pearson and Patrik Widrig
Created with and Performed by • Graham Brown, Lindsay Gilmour, Tzveta Kassabova, Betty Skeen, Patrik Widrig
Original Soundscape by • James Nyoraku Schlefer

The creation and live performances of Oashisu (Oasis) at the Tenri Cultural Institute in New York in October 2010 were made possible with the generous support of the New York State Council on the Arts, the American Music Center Live Music for Dance Program, the O’Donnell Green Music and Dance Foundation, the CRS Barn of Ithaca, NY, and the Friends of PWDT.
