Moments from ROOTS the performance.

Roots is a performance by Natasha Devalia, with live music by Chawalit Saowapakpongchai, Nopparuj Satjawan, Thakoon Boonma of Yaan Music based in Bangkok, choreographed by Ampinee Suwunsawet. It includes dance, music, art, and poetry. Roots is about choosing to acknowledge and accept the power of our varied backgrounds, and from that acceptance to rise up into the wholeness of freedom in individuality.

This performance is based on three poems, Our Moon, Desert Rose and Roots which belong to a soon to be published award winning poetry pamphlet, Unseen Veins by Natasha Devalia.

Travellers: A performance by Aria Moore, Ampinee Suwunsawet & Natasha Devalia

“Ah, not the early evening dawn has faded away.
The half-covered star was rising high.
Isn't it time for a good person?
It's time for the good person
To go home from the field.
Go home.

Oh, you my servants, my faithful brothers,
You come to me.
Bring a trio,
Bring three grey-haired horses to sit with me.
Sit down and then go.
Go home.”

In loving memory of
Aria Moore

“All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages.”

— William Shakespeare.

This was to be our stage with Aria. Today we made the film with a recording of her voice. It moved the clouds, the water, both of us, the dogs and all the standers-by. We danced at sunset, on our beach under the tree, just as we had planned to do. 💔❤️

Video performance in memory of Aria Moore.

All of us at Studio Figure Eight are broken by the news of the sudden passing of our Music / Sound Director Aria Moore. She was the sound mastermind behind all of our projects over the last two years, an integral part of our team.

We’d like to extend our sympathies to her family, students, and friends.

It’s time to say goodbye to the Studio Figure Eight, Koh Samui chapter. It’s been a wonderful three years of building friendships, of teaching, being taught, creating, rehearsing, and performing.

Big thanks to Jiew, Nej, Karan, Valerie, Ampinee, Shanon, and all the other teachers who passed through - for their sincerity, dedication and hard work, not to mention the expertise in their fields - and to all the students for trusting Studio Figure Eight. We will miss you. I hope very much, that you continue to dance, practice yoga, and do your fitness trainings.

If you are in Bangkok look me up.
A Studio Figure Eight, Bangkok chapter is in the thought process.

“to be continued...”

***Important***

The space will remain a movement studio for daily dance, yoga, pilates and fitness classes. It will continue as Yansa Studio run by our very own Valerie Alken.

I feel no guilt in closing knowing that I leave you in the able hands and the warmest, most welcoming smile of Valerie Alken. Karan and Nej will continue to teach at Yansa at their regular schedules. I hope you continue to support the studio. Yansa Studio opens on July 5th. Please don’t be shy to contact Valerie for more information.

The social media and website are coming soon.
