Cypher II is a dance session featuring local dancers Go Yamashiro, Jasmine Mazlika, Runa Miura, and Rion Watley at Kiyomizu Kannon-do of Kan'ei-ji Temple. The video of this dance session will be exhibited in the Konpon-Chudo of Kan'ei-jiTemple.
Subsequent to Cypher, which took place a few days earlier at Tokyo Dome City, Cypher II is the more intimate and meditative of the two gatherings led by Vietnamese American artist My-Linh Le. At the heart of both is the circle formed by the participants facing one another, taking turns improvising dance in the center. The contrast in the environment of the temple versus that of the urban entertainment complex grants audiences of both cyphers a chance to glimpse form and formlessness in the layers of relationship involved in freestyle. The dancer in the center of the cypher—surrounded by peers, who are surrounded by objects, structures, and passersby that occasionally pause to watch, connected via space, sound, and energy flowing between all—responds and adapts spontaneously but not randomly to this context.
