"I thought I could create a drawing on the stage as I performed butoh. While the art is in the performance as a whole, I found the residue, the drawing, is a beautiful piece of abstract art as well. Isn't all drawing, regardless of style, a record of movement in time? With my choreography I'm telling the stories of my ancestors but as their ghosts. Because they are ghosts, their story is somewhat forgotten."
