In the conference feedback forms, someone wrote (about the morning opening) "you could have given us more space for words, but instead you gave us MAGIC" - Conference organizer
Your show tonight was so awesome and inspiring. I truly believe that there is no more powerful act of revolution or of healing that what you are doing. Speaking truth to power in a way that is joyful and loving, rather than divisive and threatening, is a very hard and beautiful thing to do. Inspiring others to have the courage to sing and speak from the heart is even more rare and precious. -- audience member
You really got the students and families excited about he music and the message of international understanding. We all enjoyed your musical talent and your boundless energy. -- Geography fair organizer
We particularly liked the focus on individual performers and their journeys associated with taiko and their relationship to Japanese culture....we do feel we got a lot of “bang for our buck”. -- Cultural educator

What a fantastic performance. You were all amazing! I loved seeing your power, your strong voices, bodies, big clear vision, and creativity pulse through your performances. I feel so fortunate to know each of you. -- audience member
A MILLION thanks should be sent to you and your Troupe. Your performance was so energetic, entertaining, and culturally diverse! We were extremely appreciative of your performance, especially when ALL Little Sisters got to try out their skills with the taiko drums. -- youth worker
You all are so amazing! I love the way you are changing/shifting the conversations on "mental health" and sharing stories of Asian /Pacific Islanders lives - conference participant

You know, what really impressed me about The Genki Spark was that they all showed up from the get go with a really great attitude, already motivated and up for whatever we were up to, full of beans ... just ready to roll with it... minister
