TEA: a meditation on the Wabi-Sabi aesthetic 

"Things wabi-sabi are usually small and compact, quiet and
inward-oriented. They beckon- get close, touch, relate. They inspire a
reduction of the psychic distance between one thing and another thing; 
between people and things."

-- Leonard Koren

This
collaborative group work is an investigation into the wabi-sabi
aesthetic. Wabi-sabi, a Japanese concept dating from the sixteenth
century, could be described as the beauty of decay, death, and absence.
Rather than imitating traditional Japanese wabi-sabi objects, this project
focuses on finding and deepening wabi-sabi events, elements and objects
in the lives of the performers living in modern Europe. A key component
of the project is proximity
to the audience- wabi-sabi is not meant to be admired from a distance,
but approached, felt, understood. What happens when the audience is
invited to touch? What if the performance space is a shared refuge for
performers and audience members?
