Art is Important

I am lucky enough to be married to a human who lives to create and creates to live and so it is easy to meet other artists and find out about events like this, Enso at Elastic Arts, featuring our friend Billie Howard playing violin and the dancer (and one of our former neighbors) Ayako Kato. They did a great job with the soundscape, the Ikebana, the origami on set to create a very vivid sensory presence with an interpretive dance that was really special. Ayako Kato has some of her previous dances up on her website here:

Billie has some of her compositions here:
