Minoru came to Vancouver in 1970 from Yokohama. His daughter Maiko has been burning up the small theatre Vancouver arts scene by co-founding boca del lupo and writing creations such as Empty Orchestra and many others.
Here's a message from collaborator actor/creator Adrienne Wong:
Theatre
Replacement and the Powell Street Festival present six new works of
theatre for the tiny stage. BOX THEATRE is a series of one-person shows
for a one-person audience, featuring BOX SPRING by Adrienne Wong,
BALLOT BOX by Spencer Herbert, CHATTER BOX by Camille Gingras, ULTRA
BOX/TOY BOX by Kris Nelson, IDIOT BOX by James Long and MATCH BOX by
Maiko Bae Yamamoto. Using a combination of text, tiny props, and a
little magic, actor and audience share the most intimate of performance
experiences inside a theatre that is a small box worn on the actor‚s
shoulders.
