YORIDOKORO- Silent Anchor
© Barbara Dietl
Where is your “safe place”? This work explores the Japanese concept of kokoro no yoridokoro—a place of grounding or return—through the relationship between body, space, and sound, asking what it means to exist. For me, it is a place where I can be as I am, without holding anything back.
YORIDOKORO – Silent Anchor emerges from a paradox I have felt throughout my career: that the moment I am performing on stage may also be when I feel most myself—perhaps when I am least performing.
This work follows my previous piece fish ái Lens, and becomes my second autobiographical work. This time, I turn toward what I have not wanted to speak about—sensations and memories I have left unspoken.
Together with composer and sound artist Reiko Yamada, I explore how space, distance, stillness, and being observed shape emotional and physical states, within a shared environment between performer and audience.
In the end, the work moves toward a single question: Where is my true safe place?
