Made with an international assembly of artists viewed as masters in their respective disciplines, each master is invited to teach what they think is most important about the form to which they have devoted their lives. This is followed by periods of response and reflection that culminate with a final piece,” according to the release. This is the fourth installment of an eight-part series begun in Central Java with classical Javanese dancer Heni Winahyuningsih, dancer/teacher at the Sultan Palace in Yogyakarta for over 30 years. The dancers are: Silas Riener, Lacey and Cardona. Music is by Reiko Fueting and the musicians are Drake Anderson, Nani Fueting, Jeffrey Gavett, Jacek Mioduszewski. Find out more here
