Meditation in the womb
In his short work Seed (Shushi), [Tatsumi] Hijikata curled up into a fetal position onstage. His movements were restricted and constantly turned inwards, in what can otherwise be described as a “meditation in the womb.” This poetic form of physical expression suggested his body was doing the thinking rather than his mind. It was a performance or happening that can be taken to criticize the desire to “express.”
