About Dance Troupe 60Tree

Dance troupe 60Tree shows the time and space that human heart and nature meet purely and certainly, then decorating the worm and peaceful human garden in everyone's heart.

As dance is not only our body but also love...as dance is not only the shape of nature but also a flow...

For me, Dance is..

The technique- oriented body acted by fixed motion often makes errors to bypass the concrete,

substance or reality variously experienced and desires of incarnated body. By the dictatorship of reason, body becomes the colony full of passive system and rigid technique. And the only visually thinking cause the crisis of body. Feeling with all physical senses and breathing then real time and space are the very ways overcoming

the limit of body. So the gap between the subject and Vitality of the body, it's the base of dancing.

Life is unfolding of the dynamic circulation of living. When the human recovers a state of nature, that is

what-is -so-of- itself, life gets vitality. 

For me language system of dancing is composed of the fundamental and the abstention of logicak concept.

which is the spirit of Zen. Dance is a way of practicing the natural Zen or the nature like Zen.
