The Contemporary Museum will present a performance of contemporary improvisatory dance, Infinite Transparency, by internationally renowned Japanese dancer Shizuno Nasu and Hawaii dancer Karen Masaki on September 12 at 2 p.m. The essential to budget travel is to plan onward. When it occurs to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved trips and/or going to see new places we have never been before, the reality of cost and budgeting is often in the back of our thoughts. Organizing and expending our travel budget carefully is a concern for most families. Lowering spending and fees, while still delighting your vacation to its fullest, is the key to confirmed achievement and fiscal liability. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The reasoning behind saving money while journeying is simple: Even if your personal budget is extremely small, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or leaving the homestead! Also keeping in mind that while traveling, whether on a funds or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a huge vacation or travel expenses!. The performance is free to the public with museum entry through the generous sponsorships. The dance will be performed in the galleries of the exhibition, Yoshihiro Suda, a hyper-realistic minimalist display of hand-carved, hand-painted botanicals by Japanese artist Yoshihiro Suda.
