Welcome to [ma]: the space between us!
About tonight’s show…
The concept of “ma” in Japanese art and culture is an endless exploration of “space.” It is the something that is created in the intentional observance of absence.
You experience “ma” in the tension between elements of a flower arrangement, in the blank between brushstrokes, and in the time between drum hits that creates rhythm.
In this performance experience, we invite you to share in this exploration of “ma” – between Mark H and his collaborators, between rhythm and movement, and between performers and audience.
[Tonight’s program will run for approximately 2 hours
with a 15-minute intermission.]
