Concepts and Goals
In performing throughout Japan and overseas, we feel a connectivity between ourselves and others expanding. This in turn spawns new projects. These new projects are generally tailored to the individuals performing them.
Future Plans
Kunie Suzuki looks to organize new, small-scale live performances (not her original works). She would like to expand her activities to include providing lectures for the elderly on improving one's body condition, using techniques of Som Atique (learned in Canada), and the Mitsuva technique, which she is currently studying. She hopes to continue her performances overseas and encourage her friends and associates in Japan to join her activities.
