Individual Dance Items
Item #1
- Title:twilight
- Item Synopsis / Program Notes:
Time flies
A wish to stay here has not come true
We are living in this world which always change
The future in old days has come to the past
Silence and happiness caused from changing
My body feels anxious between past and present
I am nothing who has been isolated from everything
Rising in revolt against the obedient thought
I am standing steadily here
