“LEIMAY and CAVE have been creating art projects for many years that are open to the community. They are always independent, supportive, and challenging something new. Last month when I saw LEIMAY’s new work-in-progress, their stance stayed the same but the work has deepened! I’d like to support LEIMAY just like they support us in the community. It is a gem.” – Akiko Nishijima, 2021

“I was in the audience at CAVE Home of LEIMAY when Krystel Copper and Masanori Asahara gave their all in Alius Bodies (work in progress) by Ximena Garnica and Shige Moriya. I felt I was watching an Egon Schiele painting come to life. Krystel and Masanori created a three-dimensional moving and living sculpture whose every movement was so deeply felt. What an incredible experience!” – Peggy Resnick, 2021

“I know you said, don’t try to make sense of it, and so of course, the entire time I was trying to make sense of it. . . I had a whole script in mind that was happening. Basically, a birthing of these beings. . . And they started to communicate a little bit. So then when the monkey [song appeared]. . .What is that? Because they’re in the primordial soup! It was interesting to try not to make sense of it, and then to have my mind blown by that!” – Audience member at Hurleyville Arts Centre, 2019

“A lot of the movements were unfamiliar to me, they weren’t reminiscent of anything else, but at the same time, like with the words, it wasn’t just gibberish, it wasn’t, ‘Oh, just do something that no one has seen before.’ In a way, It was very intentional. So, how do you create movements that were so unfamiliar and so intentional?” – Audience member at Hurleyville Arts Centre, 2019
