Rokuro (The Wheel)
Suzanne Liska, Takako Segawa and Heidi Chan draw on various aesthetic forms, including East Asian musical traditions and instrumentation, taiko drumming, ceramic arts, contemporary dance, and relationships to material objects and artifacts to explore their different identities and backgrounds as Asian Canadians. The responses are cyclical, as their bodies give shape to new rituals rooted in history and culture, in nature and tradition. There is no single answer, but there is the body’s expression of its connection to ancestry.
