2024-2025 FUNDRAISING

November 18, 2024

Hello Friends,

As we enter the winter season, and various social and global issues come to the forefront, we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for your ongoing support of our activities.

Through our programs, including Flower of the Season, we are working to build a brighter future, even if only in a small way. We are grateful that, together with you all, we have been able to present Flower of the Season performances and workshops free-of-charge.

This spring, our piece, Body as Evidence, was invited to the Grec Festival in Barcelona and was received with enthusiasm. Additionally, our autumn program, Hatsu-Kaze focused on the fundamental collaboration between musicians and dancers, providing fruitful experiences in both performances and workshops. This has opened up possibilities for future explorations, building of community and opportunities to experience the embodiment of connectivity.

Given the current social climate, we especially need your assistance. We humbly ask for your continued support and encouragement for our projects. Truly, any contribution would be greatly appreciated.

Peace, health, and fortitude.

Love,

Roxanne and Oguri
