●CONCEPT
All the elements are stirring, changing, crossoverlapping each other as the patterns appear on the surface of the water.

This work is a kind of installation using dance and music inspired by the specific situation. The dancers were trained in traditional ways of Javanese and Thai dance, while the violinist was trained in western way and the music was composed based on contemporary thoughts and techniques. Through their bodies that experienced "Asian", "traditional", "Western" and "contemporary" performances, the expressions based on these cultures crossover and overlap unexpectedly. All of this "crossoverlap" make changes the patterns appears on the surface of the water.
