For two decades Hisako contributed to the development of the Body Weather Laboratory. A kinesthetic and movement research initiated by dancer/farmer Min Tanaka. This comprehensive movement training offers open and incisive investigations to challenge physical limits and scale, evoke sense memory, and rigorously re-examine the body as a dynamic, transformative environment.
Through relaxation and awakening of various parts of the body, students will focus on opening their bodies to receive from the outside world and cultivating their senses to the new discoveries they make.
