Culture is the Body IV -- Toward the Ground

The interactive music series Culture is the Body is a response to the Japanese theatre director
Tadashi Suzuki’s book of the same title. Suzuki’s insistence on the use of animal energy in theatre
impactfully calls for a re-evaluation of our relationship with our body in the modern world.
Stomping on the floor is the starting point in Suzuki’s training method. It is through stomping that
our body establishes a communication with the ground, anew, and therefore encourages a stronger
body awareness.
