• "WOW! I am finally sitting to say how much I enjoyed watching you move at Fringe. Again, I came back with my wife for the second show......I could see a vocabulary of movements that you would improv on & revisit as the piece unfolded.........YOU were the highlight for me. Thanks again- a pleasure to see you work. WHAT CONTROL!" ----Jeff Gere,  Artist, master storyteller, and puppeteer based in Hawaiʻi. (March 18, 2025)

• "The Friday night performance remind me my 60’s shinjyuku days; there is an underground performance group name “tenjyou-sajiki” Organized by syuji terayama, Very cool! Made me feel, the only thing I know is that I know nothing. Keep Your dynamic equilibrium!" ----Shinichi Takahashi, Artist  (January 11, 2020)

• "Outstanding. An unpredictable exploration of a wide range of emotions and sonic textures ranging from slapstick to post-apocalyptic. A symbiotic loop of movement motivated by sound motivated by movement. Improvisation at its best! A must see/hear for all." ----Scott Groeniger, Associate Professor, University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa (May 21, 2018)

• "As soon as I walked in I knew this performance was going to be inviting and interesting. The curtains were open, I was handed a foil hat and the artists were sitting in the house and invited me inside. The performance was interesting to watch and hear. I interpreted of playfulness, experimentation, rule-breaking, freedom of expression, humor. I would describe it as raw and real. I find dance to often be pretentious, but this was not." ------Kiki Rivera, Theatre Artist (May 20, 2018)

• "I loved watching you(r) movements manifesting your mercurial thoughts. Amazing physical dexterity and strength, but equally interesting was/is the use of common movements, extended & repeated, a common movement vocabulary, building within the repeating, becoming something else... so fast! And FUNNY (to me). I was surprised, a lot, with the choices, odd movement mixes, the physicality & structural developments... that's why we came back, 'did I really see that?" WOW! It does not happen often with dance (with me) that I am so captivated & amazed. I really liked the 'musical tapestry, soundscapes, aural textures.' I especially liked the fact that they were not overwhelming, not aggressive. I had room to listen, not defend, which happens (with me) in some electronica." ------ Jeff Gere,  Artist, master storyteller, and puppeteer based in Hawaiʻi. (January 16, 2017)
