Dance Base Festival

Zen Baka

At the EDINBURGH FESTIVAL FRINGE, 2014

After a performance of daydream at Dance Base in Edinburgh,
Know The Score, curated by Charlotte Jarvis,

 I mentioned to the Artistic Director Morag Deyes

that I was travelling to Kyoto, Japan in the autumn of 2014

with a view to performing some of these pieces there.

They invited me to be part of the Dance Base Festival in August.

 Green Tea & Zen Baka

Ease into your Festival day in the garden with a refreshing cup of green tea

and a mesmerising zen-inspired performance

by minimalist performer David W W Johnstone.

This visual haiku draws on ideas from Japanese Butoh, 

the Zen Buddhist sages and John Cage...

with a gentle hint of mime and humour thrown in.

A quietly understated insight into the daydreaming mind

of a zen fool.
