While listening to the heartbeat of Martha in the wind...
(verse written by Iwatani Tokiko) |
| Akiko Kanda appeared at the various dance scenes in the world as the beloved disciple of Martha Graham, and gave striking impacts to the audience. She, now the pride of contemporary dance in Japan, concentrates all her passion for dance on this stage, which she will dedicate to her deceased teacher. |
