Kaidan (premiered September 2010, Philadelphia Live Arts Festival) is inspired by characters from traditional japanese ghost stories. Utilizing dance, video projection, kinetic sculpture, and costume design, Kaidan is a 30 minute performance choreographed for the stage.
What people are saying about Kaidan:
"Drawing on characters now vaguely familiar through movies like The Ring or anime like Naruto, Kaidan creates a effortlessly rendered, ever so creepy dreamworld." - Warren Longmire, Phillyist.com
"absolutely gorgeous and utterly creepy"-Carolyn Huckabay, City Paper
Kaidan Insuto, presented by thefidget space in October 2010, is an interactive performance installation in the vein of a haunted house. Inhabited by the same characters found in Kaidan, Kaidan Insuto is an environment the audience enters into (those who choose to becoming a part of the performance).

"...nothing less than a fresh, and powerful, realization of the intimate presence and intertwining of the seemingly-impossibly-wonderful with the completely everyday things that are handled and taken for granted each day."
