KODO!


Thursday was a really long day. Up at 7 AM for a morning appointment, home at 12:30 to get ready to be picked up by good friend, Carole at 1:30 to go to Corona to meet and share a ride to San Diego. Cheryl was our excellent driver. I enjoyed the scenery.



We went to ...
12719 Poway Rd, Poway, CA 92064 * (858) 883-5605
 
to meet Kevin and Lisa for an early supper and to visit with Lisa who lives nearby but was unable to join us for the KODO performance. 


After really good food (we all got something different) we left for downtown San Diego. Lots of traffic, but we had planned to be there early. We were invited to this sold out KODO performance by Hanshi Miki through Kevin Suzuki, and if my brain had been working at all, I would have thought to ask if we could take a picture with him.





Thanks to Kevin we have the people photos. The Balboa Theater is a beautifully restored theater from the early 1920's, and no recording or photos were permitted during the performance. Since we were early, I got got some so-so photos of the ceiling??




Normally I would have been asleep on the way home, butt I felt so energized by the KODO performance I was awake all the way home.


Thanks again to Hanshi Miki and Sensei Kevin Suzuki.






Christy Keeney, Letterkenny, Ireland.


Christy studied ceramics at the Royal College of Art in London.

His figurative ceramics are an investigation into the human condition. His forms are to the point where sculpture and drawing overlap.


After spending 17 years in London, Christy returned to his native Donegal where he now lives and works. His sculpted slab built heads and figures demonstrate a wonderful sense of draughtsmanship as details are drawn into the wet clay.

Jacki, I enjoyed the video you suggested and i loved it. If you heard something like this together with your dear friends I totally understand that you felt energized afterwards.
Happy Sunday!

Yes, KODO was wonderful. Not everybody's "cup of tea", but most are amazed,
