Kaze No Denwa (Wind Phone) 2024-Present

Kaze No Denwa (Wind Phone) is a multi-year dance project centers at a cultural phenomenon of a memorial telephone booth constructed as a comfort of grieving for the people of Fukushima, Japan. After a devastating tsunami incident that destroyed the town in 2011. The locals coined the term "Wind Phone" for the memorial. 

Four connecting acts planned for this project to dive deep into this story following the initial incident, aftermath, and years of the changing climate surrounding Fukushima. The opening Act excerpt was originally commissioned by the dance department of Grand Canyon University during a residency in the Fall of 2024. Titled “Siren”, this act opens with the initial shock and devastation caused by the tsunami, and the anxiety from the people of Fukushima in a desperate effort to survive in the unexpected tragedy. Currently, this opening act has been rebuilt and refined with a more intimate ensemble.

Following the revival of the company (Kraken Still & Film) after a two year hiatus from Lawrence Fung focusing on his technical movement refinement and choreographic research. The project has been continuously expanding since then with two additional acts deep in development in weekly rehearsals.

Siren has been performed by KSAF in numerous dance festivals in 2026. Including Twilight Fringe at the Pemberton in Downtown Phoenix, Cross-Cultural Dance Resource Gala 2026 at the Margaret Gisolo Dance Theatre at the Arizona State University in Tempe, and the 28th Annual Dance in the Desert Festival 2026 in Summerlin, Nevada.
