LEIMAY Friends Showcase: Moeno Wakamatsu, Peter Sciscioli, Zack Fuller

Moeno Wakamatsu
Eternity Maze
I met my shadow and it said to me.... To be Here, To be Everywhere, To Be Nowhere. Circulation of Being and Nothingness.

[This place is everywhere, every place is nowhere. In time eternity, this time is no time. Shadow rise in rose-colored eternity.]

Peter Sciscioli
A body can resonate
With roots in song forms and improvised movement structures, Sciscioli explores the capacity for vibration generated in one body to stir, compel and communicate with others, and structurally moves from darkness to light. This solo continues Sciscioli’s experimental exploration of a relationship between moving and vocalizing in performance

Zack Fuller/Stupid Wisdom
Manifestations of Zone
Stupid Wisdom is the moniker for Fuller’s collaborations with long-time cohort, Jonathan Vincent, where body and instrument is one and the same, where dance and music act as a holistic being, not separate entities. Manifestations of Zone, is a lethal infanta, an imaginary friend of the duo who appears in various forms.

Song of the body, dance of the sound: an acoustic punk butoh love song to a baby demon goddess.

About the festival
SOAK is a festival presenting a stream of AcTS and training in theater, butoh, dance, music, and performance art every summer-spring season. SOAK is molded by LEIMAY, the interdisciplinary ensemble and producing organization behind the acclaimed New York Butoh Festival. SOAK takes place at LEIMAY’s home, CAVE, in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

SOAK broadens the perceptions of our artists and audiences with work that is experimental, rigorous, and thought-provoking. The festival showcases finished and in-progress work by international, local, and fellow artists, and blends them together in a concoction that inspires audiences, fuels the artists, and stimulates the community surrounding LEIMAY’s activities.
