Starr Fund, Asian Pacific American Institute, and Dean's Conference Fund, The New York University

  title:pieces on war and prayer by Aine Nakamura solo performance "[P]ieces on war and prayer" are collective pieces of solo performance of voice and body movement. The work consists of arrangements of Life of a Flower -War and lullaby- Night before War and The River. All the three pieces focus on short compositions, improvisation and elements of lullaby. They center around vulnerability that will be taken away by wars and weapons: "Life of a Flower -War and lullaby-" is a story of a flower that lived during a war time; in "Night before War", a mother is telling her child a story a night before a war comes; and "The River" talks about flow of the Hudson River and flow of people, going back and forth the time when people traveled in canoes, the time people traded people and the time people were forced to move. The pieces are prayers, resilience and statement against violence.

  English Title: The Unseen World(Japanese Title:みえないもの mienaimono )for ICEby Aine NakamuraThis is a world premiere of The Unseen World.  The composition is created, inspired by Nakamura’s dream and one of the byobu (folding screen) paintings by Jakuchu Ito created in the 18th century: 鳥獣花木図屏風 Choju Kaboku zu Byobu (Birds and Animals in the Flower Graden) that Nakamura saw in an exhibition of Jakuchu.  In the screen painting, we see creatures that do not exist in the world, but do they not?  In Nakamura’s dream, a mystery was solved, which she does not remember.  And a pigeon that she rarely see in a cherry tree in front of her house brings her into The Unseen World.  She goes into the world from the frame of the painting, and, by the time she goes out, she understands that The Unseen World is always here in this world.

performance: Mikro Ensemblecomposition and voice by Aine Nakamura-premiere-Title: The Story of OicaOica is a character that Nakamura created through a theatrical project. From a loss of her son, she lost her memory and thinks she is originally a dolphin. This character connected Nakamura with a traditional myth in northern Japan, myth that the middle small island in Mashu Lake used to be an old lady, and myths around the world on gods of animals and nature. The piece is a scene where Oica, the god of dolphin, sings to her son, the god of the moon, at night time. All the creatures are waking up.Lyrics/text:さぁ いのちよ 輝いておくれ 天高く 遥か彼方までさぁ 歌おう 光に照らされて 天高く 朝の夜露までさぁ 光よ 聞かせておくれ 花のような笑い声を 奥の山川 夜にまで 大地に 命は生きるSa- inochi yo, kagayaiteokure. Ten takaku haruka kanatamade.Sa- utaou, hikari ni terasarete. Ten takaku asa no yotsuyu made.Sa- hikari yo, kikaseteokure. (Hana no youna waraigoe wo, okuno yamakawa) Yoruni made. Daichi ni inochi ha ikiru.Soul, soul, please shine to the top of the sky and to the edge of the world.I shall sing lighted by the moon to the top of the sky to the dew of the morning.Light, light, let us hear (your laughter like a flower to the mountains, to the rivers), and to the depth of the night. Souls live on the earth.

  RECORDING OF NAKAMURA'S COMPOSITION On the Night of the New Moon   Tokyo

 -premiere- Title: The River Program Notes: The Hudson River (Shatemuc as called by the original inhabitants of Manhattan) flows both to the north and the south surrounded by the stiff rocks that are the grounds of Manahatta (hilly island).  The archive of paintings of the river connected Nakamura with the old days of Manhattan/Manahatta when dolphins swam around the island, the flow and relocations of people in the history and at the current age.  This solo piece is an exploration of body movement, texts, sound and a song: an offering to the River and question to the repeated history.
