The Sag Harbor Express
The end result a collaborative multi-media project was not only a fitting tribute to their colleague?s work but also reflects Blank and Wilson?s preferred methods of working. Blank recalls that Hanayagi was brave to break from the traditional roles imposed on Japanese women even artists and dancers back in the 1950s. Her break with tradition started when she begun combining the traditional Japanese dance she had painstakingly learned with the Modern Dance she was becoming familiar with at her college. ?Starting around 1957-1958 she always performed using both classical and modern dance vocabularies. ?It was a program with New York?s Japan Society that finally brought her to the United States were she gave numerous dance workshops and created a lot of movement pieces alone or often in collaboration with others such as fellow immigrant Yoko no. She left New York City in 1969 in order to give birth to and raise her son in Japan according to Blank. Thereafter she returned to the United States numerous times to work on several projects with Robert Wilson among others.
