This video is about the Japanese concept of MA in conversation. Ma roughly means "gap", "space", "pause" or "the space between two structural parts." In our daily life we are experiencing MA either positively or in a negative way. MA is in the purposeful pauses in speech which make words stand out. We realise how much we are communicating with non verbal gestures. Sometime the silent moment between words speaks more than the words themselves. The video explores this concept by satirically portraying a conversation between two donates. (Source: Keiko Miyazaki)
