01
Creative Performance “The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter”
A participatory creative performance set in Japan’s oldest tale, “The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter”, where we create together and let one another shine through movement and music.
Created for groups of 5 to 1,000, each performance takes a form suited to its people and setting. Following twelve performances in Japan, this unique, unrepeatable creation now brings the beauty of Japan to the world.
A participatory creative performance that brings performers and audience together, beyond their usual roles, to create as one.
“The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter” is available on its own or in combination with an Ise-Shima retreat or ongoing program.
Please discuss your wishes and goals with us. We can tailor the experience for schools, senior care facilities, festivals, corporate training and other settings.

Eurythmy Workshops · Smile Wellness Workshops · Smile English Conversation
Drawing on elements of eurythmy that awaken bodily awareness and encourage harmony of body and mind, we laugh, move and use our voices. We ease tension and enjoy time connecting with others.
Eurythmy Workshops
Eurythmy is an art of movement developed by Rudolf Steiner, expressing the resonance of words and music through the body.
Move with attention to the sensations arising within you, and experience your connection with other people and the space around you.
We offer experiential workshops for children and adults, tailored to the participants and setting.
Smile Wellness Workshops
With a smile as our starting point, we combine yoga, stretching, expressive movement, voice, breathing and relaxation to ease both body and mind.
You can join comfortably and enjoyably, even if physical activity is not your strength.
We adapt each workshop to the wishes and participants of schools, companies, senior care facilities, organizations and other groups.
Smile English Conversation (optional)
Enjoy practical English conversation for everyday situations, from introductions and the workplace to travel abroad.
A 10–30-minute mini lesson that values smiles, eye contact and an open mind.
