“Walls are memory: spaces that have become memories of togetherness and gathering.”

My Home

That tropical smell of Hawaii, I smell it every time I go down the escalator to get to customs. Sense of smell is something weird to me. I think I remember so vividly, but I don’t. I know when I smell it again, though, I will know what it is, so it definitely lays somewhere in my brain. I want to get that scent in a jar and visit it whenever I miss it. 

Moon, Sky, Taking a bath, Sunset is the all-night scene for me. Maybe I like nighttime? 

When I connect everything together, I find myself in Hawaii.

I thought I didn’t like the life in Hawaii, but maybe I miss it there, just not realizing it…?

Marin Itto

a Japanese dance artist, based in the USA. As a performer and a choreographer, she imagines dance to be a study of movement, created in everyday life. Her work interacts with space, time, people, and most importantly, our stories from the past, present, and future. Marin is trying to spread the Japanese spirit; “Yamato spirit” to the world, by creating a safe space to listen and speak to one another through bodies/movements. Marin has attended schools in Japan and in 5 different states. She has presented work at The University of the Arts (Philadelphia), Idyllwild Arts Academy (California), The Cambridge School of Weston (Massachusetts), and at Nanzan Kokusai (Toyota, Japan). She showed her leadership skills in schools as a valedictorian in her Japanese school in Hawaii and a perfect/RA at a dorm her senior year of high school.
