21-22 BUTOH MA WORKSHOP / THE SPACE IN- BETWEEN
In Homage to Tadashi Endo IN LISBON  11am – 5pm

Butoh is a philosophy and a way of dancing and living rather than a technique,
it is a teacher for life and for the stage, it is a way of existing and of experiencing the world, from inside out through Dance.
It s the revolution of mind and body or as its founder, Tatsumi Hijikata would say,
The revolution of the FLESH.
In Japanese the concept of MA- the empty space, between two walls, two breaths, two beats or two notes, two movements, between the silence and the beginning of …
between sky and earth, good and bad, war and peace…
It is a fascinating space to look for in our dance.
A concept I have learnt through my work with Tadashi Endo, this workshop is dedicated to him and to his great teachings world wide.

“Somewhere beyond right and wrong, there is a garden, I will meet you there” RUMI

Sharing nearly 30 years of Butoh dance experience, having danced with 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation of Butohist mainly from Japan but also from Europe, Yael gives a fascinating introduction and open doors within us to make it our own.

28-29 BUTOH MA WORKSHOP / THE SPACE IN- BETWEEN
In Homage to Tadashi Endo IN PORTO 11h – 17h

Butoh is an avant-garde dance of transformation created at the end of the 50 in Japan. Karavan is sharing more than 25 years of experience having worked with the founding members of Butoh Dance as well as 2nd and 3rd generations in Japan and Europe. Butoh is not a technique but a method and philosophy.
The main elements that will be explored in the workshop are metamorphoses, dance through imagery, presence, the space in-between- MA, the body as a vessel, awareness, and the tension between opposites. The aim is to free the body from its mundane preconceived set of gestures and movements and thus allowing us to access a deeper and more authentic essence of movement and archetypal expression. Questioning how Butoh can be translated into a European Body and why is Butoh not just relevant but extremely vital nowadays. Inspired by one of my main masters, dancer and choreographer Tadashi Endo, from whom I learned so much about the MA- The space In- Between.

May

 

16th , 17th and 18th of May – The Body as a Vessel at Ser Vivo, Palmela 

A long weekend of Butoh Buffet, sharing nearly 3 decades of Butoh experience & research.

“I run a shop of the body, my profession, known under the name of dancer, is an enterprise of restoration of the human.”
“We should live in the present. We should do what we have to do now and not keep putting it on the long finger as the majority of adults do. That is why they exhaust themselves. For children, there is only the present. They are not afraid. Fear envelops us in a fine mesh. We must remove this mesh” Tatsumi Hijikata, Butoh founder

Butoh is the dance of becoming, in constant transformation, but before we can begin to being danced, we need to find out how to ’empty’ our vessel in order to be available. To become a tool, an instrument of the universe and of all life. In this workshop we will explore how to travel from full to empty, life and death, inside and outside, between form and soul. Exploring the present body, empty body, the body as a vessel and the transformation of our physical states with powerful images.

Uma performance / dança experiência, entre a luz e a escuridão.

Outro Lado é o fruto de 30 anos de imersão, pesquisa, ensino, experimentação, questionamento, direção, dança, atuação e escavação na essência do Butoh. Outro Lado é um Solo/Dueto entre a luz e corpo, uma coleção de várias peças, cada uma dedicada aos poderosos bailarinos e coreógrafos japoneses que encontrei no meu caminho, com quem tive a honra de trabalhar e com quem tive a sorte de aprender. Oferecendo-me ferramentas poderosas para encontrar a minha voz interior e assim guiar outros a encontrar a suas próprias também, principalmente através da desaprendizagem.

  “Inside this one body, there are various mythic things that are still sleeping intact. ….The work is how to excavate them…” – Tatsumi Hijikata, founder of Butoh.

Butoh is an avant-garde dance, a philosophy and a method that was created in Japan in the late 1950s by Tatsumi Hijikata and Kazuo Ohno. It is not a technique, but a method and an approach to dance that is born within us and connects us to our essence, nature, the universe and the cycles of life and death.

Yael Karavan has more than 25 years’ experience, during which time he has had the opportunity to work with the founders of Butoh in Japan: Kazuo Ohno and Motofuji San – (wife of Tatsumi Hijikata) – as well as with Tadashi Endo and the MAMU dance theatre, Yumiko Yoshioka and Ten-Pen-Chi, Sankai Juku, Atsushi Takenuchi, Minako Seki, Carlota Ikeda, Yuko Kawamoto, Akira Kasai, Natsu Nakajima, Ko Morobushi and others.

The main elements that will be worked on in the workshop are: Metamorphosis, the mystery of empty space, space between – ‘MA’ Space. The aim is to free the “domesticated” body from the set of preconceived gestures and movements, allowing access to the deep and authentic essence of movement.

September

18 de Setembro as 21.30 – HOMENAGEM – Voltando para Portugal!
no XXVI festival international de Teatro de Setubal, Portugal

Co-criação da Yael Karavan com a Naomi Silman do LUME Teatro
co-produção Portugal-Brazil

MAIS INFO AQUI!

HOMENAGEM é um espetáculo de teatro-dança que leva a palco o tema da extinção de espécies, flora e fauna, cuja ausência terá silenciosas mas duras  repercussões na vida do nosso planeta; emergindo da linha ténue entre o trágico e o cómico, traz à superfície as contradições do comportamento humano e da vida no nosso planeta terra.

HOMENAGEM is a Dance Theatre performance/ experience, exploring ways to brings to the stage the theme of species extinction, flora and fauna, whose absence will have silent but harsh repercussions on the life of our planet; emerging from the thin line between the tragic and the comic, it brings to the surface the contradictions of human behaviour and life on our planet earth.

HOMENAGEM não tem a pretensão de pregar ou ensinar, mas sim lançar-se ao desafio de criar um espaço de reflexão, abrir as mentes e os corações das pessoas através do humor, da poesia, da performance e de factos científicos. E desafia as artistas ao evocar as suas causas e inquietações enquanto seres criativos mas também enquanto cidadãs do mundo.

O projeto começou com uma pesquisa realizada pelas criadoras, em outubro de 2022, que incluíu trabalho de campo junto de comunidades indígenas do povo Guarani – Aldeia Itakupé no Pico do Jaraguá e Aldeia Kalipety – estado de São Paulo, região da Mata Atlântica. 

HOMENAGEM é a segunda colaboração internacional entre Yael Karavan (UK/PT) e Naomi Silman do LUME Teatro (BR). As duas artistas tiveram seu primeiro encontro há mais que 25 anos, quando estudavam na École Philippe Gaulier, em Londres. Seguiram diferentes caminhos pessoais e profissionais, mas sempre mantiveram contato devido a trajetórias e questionamentos comuns. Hoje, com uma carreira consolidada de quase 30 anos de pesquisa em teatro físico e visual, dança e palhaço, buscam nas suas colaborações artísticas, fundir as suas linguagens para encontrar uma expressão simples e poética num diálogo direto e íntimo com o público.

Clown, The beauty of the ridiculous – An introductory workshop where students can begin to experience the sensitive state of the ridiculous, the pleasure of play and the different physical states that form the figure of the clown – personal and unique to each of us. The many practical exercises introduce fundamental elements such as breathing, physical impulses, sensations of the body, focus, timing, relation with the audience and physical expression.
The workshop is the result of Naomi Silman’s 20 years of experience as a clown and performer with LUME Teatro (Brazil) and her studies with renowned clown teachers Philippe Gaulier, Jacques Lecoq and Sue Morrison.

Butoh é uma ferramenta artística performative, uma metodologia e filosofia do devir, em constante transformação, mas antes de podermos começar a ser dançados, precisamos de descobrir como “esvaziar” o nosso recipiente para podermos estar disponíveis. Para nos tornarmos uma ferramenta, um instrumento do universo e de toda a vida.
Neste workshop vamos explorar como viajar do cheio para o vazio, entre vida e morte, o dentro e o fora, entre a forma e a alma. Explorando o corpo presente, o corpo vazio, o corpo como um recipiente e a transformação dos nossos estados físicos com imagens poderosas.
Karavan partilha quase 30 anos de experiência de Butoh, ensinando internacionalmente.

A Beleza do Ridículo Introdução à palhaçaria com foco na experimentação do estado sensível do ridículo, o prazer do jogo e as diferentes qualidades corporais que podem compor a figura do palhaço ou palhaça, um processo único e pessoal. Serão abordados elementos como respiração, impulsos, dinâmicas físicas, estados de espírito e corporeidade, tempo e ritmo, foco, olhar, relação com o público, relação com o espaço e objetos. O curso pretende proporcionar um contato íntimo com a pulsação cômica do corpo e aborda importantes elementos para o ofício do artista cênico como presença, geração e sustentação do fluxo de energia, precisão, ações físicas e suas dinâmicas, a escuta e o jogo entre atores.O curso se baseia na bagagem e experiência de 25 anos de Naomi Silman como palhaça e pesquisadora colaboradora no Lume Teatro, e do seu aprofundamento com importantes mestres da palhaçaria como Philippe Gaulier, Jacques Lecoq e Sue Morrison.

Et un jour, en regardant vers l’intérieur
J’ai vu dans cet espace entre mon ventre et ma poitrine
un petit navire d’où mes fous intérieurs
dirigeaient ma vie…

Le point de départ de ce travail est l’idée que nous avons tous en nous-mêmes « une nef de fous ».
Ces fous représentent les différentes caractéristiques/qualités qui façonnent notre personnalité. Chacun d’entre eux, à un moment donné, dirige le navire : l’amoureux/se le/la penseur/se, le/la blagueur/se…
Il s’agit d’un thème que Yael Karavan explore depuis de nombreuses années dans le cadre de ses recherches sur la danse, en se demandant constamment : “qui me danse?”. Nous avons tellement de personnages en nous qui essaient de s’exprimer de différentes manières. Yael a donc développé des méthodes pour découvrir ces “qualités” par le biais d’un travail basé sur le caractère, en cherchant à aider ces différents fous à danser leurs histoires en nous, comme un voyage dans nos propres archétypes, en mélangeant le travail de bouffon et de butō.

Si vous êtes curieux/se de découvrir qui sont les fous qui vous habitent.
Quelle est l’histoire, l’existence, la vie à raconter ?
Le stage propose un échauffement composé de plusieurs outils d’entraînement avec des éléments de la danse Butō : étirement, force, centre, spontanéité, imagination, présence, conscience corporelle, transformation, travail avec les objets et travail sur le rythme et proposera plusieurs approches pour la découverte de vos fous dans un environnement créatif.

“Dentro deste corpo, existem várias coisas míticas que ainda dormem intactas. ….
O trabalho é como escavá-las…” – Tatsumi Hijikata, fundador do Butoh

Butoh é uma dança de vanguarda, uma filosofia e um método que foi criado no Japão, no final dos anos 50, por Tatsumi Hijikata e Kazuo Ohno. Não se trata de uma técnica, mas de um método e uma abordagem da dança que nasce dentro de nós e nos conecta à nossa essência, natureza, universo e aos ciclos da vida e da morte.

Este ano perdemos dois dos dançarinos da 2a geração do Butoh, a Natsu Nakajina e o Ushio Amagatsu (Sankai Juku), este workshop vai ser um Homenagem e partilha do trabalhos deles.

This year will be the 3rd year without my dear father, without him in the flesh, because in spirit I feel him more and more inside me, living within me, giving me a lot of his wild and creative energy, but still hard to not hug his warm heart from time to time. Feel so Lucky to have had him as a father, thank you aba.

77 88 is a site specific performance in Homage to the artist Dani Karavan for the 3rd year after his passing. A  tribute performance at his White Square, created by Yael Karavan, his youngest  daughter, created and performed in  collaboration  with the designer  Anat Zafrir (A22).

In the course of her work, Yael meets her father’s environmental works around the world, including Spain, Japan, France, Italy, Germany and Israel. These constitute for her alternative worlds, inspiring her work for which she creates site specific performances.

The performance at White Square refers to elements of memory with which Dani Karavan made his sculptures in Israel and around the world.

The Body as a vessel O corpo Vehiculo

at Palácio Pancas Palha, Lisboa

photo by Massimiliano Vannucci, from the performance- Ephemeral.

“I run a shop of the body, my profession, known under the name of dancer, is an enterprise of restoration of the human.”

“We should live in the present. We should do what we have to do now and not keep putting it on the long finger as the majority of adults do. That is why they exhaust themselves. For children, there is only the present. They are not afraid. Fear envelops us in a fine mesh. We must remove this mesh”.                      Tatsumi Hijikata, Butoh founder

Butoh is the dance of becoming, in constant transformation, but before we can begin to being danced, we need to find out how to ’empty’ our vessel in order to be available. To become a tool, an instrument of the universe and of all life.
In this workshop we will explore how to travel from full to empty, life and death, inside and outside, between form and soul. Exploring the present body, empty body, the body as a vessel and the transformation of our physical states with powerful images.

Neste workshop, Karavan apresenta, explora e dá experiência de numerosos Butoh-Fu originais, levando-nos numa viagem através das origens, pesquisando novas formas de escrever partituras de dança/movimento. O Butoh-Fu permite-nos encontrar os reinos absurdos, dadaístas e obscuros de Tatsumi Hijikata, Kazuo Ohno e Ankoku Butoh.
Este workshop trabalhará os elementos da metamorfose, presença, prontidão, contraste, a dança através de imagens e tensão entre opostos. O objectivo é libertar o corpo do seu conjunto preconcebido mundano de gestos e movimentos e, assim, permitir-nos aceder a uma essência mais profunda e autêntica de movimento e expressão arquetípica. Questionando como o Butoh pode ser traduzido para um corpo europeu e o porquê de o Butoh não ser apenas relevante, mas extremamente vital nos dias de hoje.

ENGLISH
The main elements that will be explored in the workshop are metamorphoses, dance through imagery, presence, awareness, and the tension between opposites with the aim to free the body from its mundane preconceived set of gestures and movements and thus allowing us to access a deeper and more authentic essence of movement and archetypal expression.
Questioning how Butoh can be translated into a European Body and why is Butoh not just relevant but extremely vital nowadays. Yael Karavan shares more than 25 years of Butoh experience, during which she had the opportunity to work with founders of Butoh in Japan: Kazuo Ohno and Motofuji San – wife of T. Hijikata – as well as with Tadashi Endo and MAMU dance theatre, Yumiko Yoshioka and Ten-Pen-Chi, Sankai Juku, Minako Seki, Carlota Ikeda, Akira Kasai, Ko Morobushi and Natsu Nakajuma among others.

5th Nov at 19h –V (for Vendetta) A new solo created specifically for this event
a Letter Specific & Time Specific performance within a fantastic conjunto of events curated by Bruno Humberto at CASA DO COMUM a new art space in Bairo Alto, Lisbon 

(free entry just appear!)

Enciclopédia do Comum – V

Um programa multidisciplinar para a construção coletiva de uma enciclopédia. Para o fascículo dedicado à letra V, convidámos apenas artistas que têm V no nome. Esse foi e será o critério para outras edições. Àparte de algumas falsificações. Dentro do espírito do V, os temas expandidos de Visão e Voz são invocados e centrais na propostas programadas.

Com inspiração na pós-situacionista Encyclopédie des Nuisances (1984-1992), na De La Costa Encyclopédique (1947-49), de autores anónimos mas com ligação ao projecto Acéphale, de Georges Bataille, à Encyclopédie des farces, attrapes et mystifications (1964), a muitas outras enciclopédias ficcionais e anti-enciclopédias, este projeto tenta a criação de uma enciclopédia performativa, com entradas que serão criadas através de concertos, performances, leituras, oficinas, exposições e conversas. Editaremos, também, uma publicação em papel deste fascículo, onde _s artist_s são convidad_s a colaborar, efetuando uma extensão do seu trabalho. Questiona-se a forma como produzimos conhecimento de forma coletiva, como o transmitimos e traduzimos, através de um dispositivo minimal, mas que nos oferece possibilidades de escrita e discussão crítica. A Visão e a Voz estão aqui presentes como dois possiveis veículos de liberdade, sobre uma constante violência das agendas políticas e financeiras dos que querem moldar o como e o que se olha.

 

Tuesday 28th November at 19.30 at Edge Hill Arts Centre, UK

Nova co-criação da Yael Karavan com a Naomi Silman do LUME Teatro
co-produção Portugal-Brazil

HOMENAGEM é um espetáculo de teatro-dança que leva a palco o tema da extinção de espécies, flora e fauna, cuja ausência terá silenciosas mas duras  repercussões na vida do nosso planeta; emergindo da linha ténue entre o trágico e o cómico, traz à superfície as contradições do comportamento humano e da vida no nosso planeta terra.

HOMENAGEM is a Dance Theatre performance/ experience, exploring ways to brings to the stage the theme of species extinction, flora and fauna, whose absence will have silent but harsh repercussions on the life of our planet; emerging from the thin line between the tragic and the comic, it brings to the surface the contradictions of human behaviour and life on our planet earth.

HOMENAGEM não tem a pretensão de pregar ou ensinar, mas sim lançar-se ao desafio de criar um espaço de reflexão, abrir as mentes e os corações das pessoas através do humor, da poesia, da performance e de factos científicos. E desafia as artistas ao evocar as suas causas e inquietações enquanto seres criativos mas também enquanto cidadãs do mundo.

O projeto começou com uma pesquisa realizada pelas criadoras,,em outubro de 2022, que incluíu trabalho de campo junto de comunidades indígenas do povo Guarani – Aldeia Itakupé no Pico do Jaraguá e Aldeia Kalipety – estado de São Paulo, região da Mata Atlântica. 

A fase final do processo de criação acontece neste mês de setembro no Brasil com a estreia nos dias 22/09 e 23/09 na sede do LUME Teatro em Campinas, lugar onde se iniciou o processo quase há um ano atrás…

HOMENAGEM é a segunda colaboração internacional entre Yael Karavan (UK/PT) e Naomi Silman do LUME Teatro (BR). As duas artistas tiveram seu primeiro encontro há mais que 25 anos, quando estudavam na École Philippe Gaulier, em Londres. Seguiram diferentes caminhos pessoais e profissionais, mas sempre mantiveram contato devido a trajetórias e questionamentos comuns. Hoje, com uma carreira consolidada de quase 30 anos de pesquisa em teatro físico e visual, dança e palhaço, buscam nas suas colaborações artísticas, fundir as suas linguagens para encontrar uma expressão simples e poética num diálogo direto e íntimo com o público.

8 & 9 11h-17h Oficina Butoh METAMORPHOSES  at Palacio Pancas Palhas, Lisbon.

 

 “Inside this one body, there are various mythic things that are still sleeping intact… The work is how to  excavate them…”  Tatsumi Hijikata, Butoh founder

Poetic imagery is one of the greatest powers of Butoh dance. Exploring the present body, empty body, the body as a vessel, and the transformation of our physical states with powerful images.
Butoh is an avant-garde, radical, revolutionary dance of transformation, which emerged at the end of the 50ese in Japan.

Butoh is not a technique but a method and philosophy, an approach to dance that is born within us and  connects us to our essence, nature, universe and the cycles of life and death.
The main elements that will be explored in the workshop are metamorphoses, dance through imagery, presence, awareness, and the tension between opposites.

The aim is to free the body from its mundane preconceived set of gestures and movements and thus allowing us to access a deeper and more authentic essence of movement and archetypal expression.

HOMENAGEM é um espetáculo de teatro-dança que coloca em cena a problemática da extinção de espécies (flora e fauna) cuja ausência antevê̂ silenciosas porém duras repercussões na vida do planeta. Emergindo da linha ténue entre o trágico e o cómico, ir-se-á́ revelando as contradições do comportamento humano na sua interação com o planeta Terra.

ARENES was founded by acclaimed Portuguese theater director, playwright, and fine artist João Garcia Miguel.

ARENES is the extension of João’s vision for greater democracy and multiculturalism for training methods, audience development and professional networking within the performing arts landscape – a desire coming from 40 years as a theatre maker and reason for the creation of ARENES.

Our approach is in line with the demands of the acting profession, notable in production hubs like the National, Bush and Young Vic in London, Hebbel am Ufer in Berlin and Odéon in Paris. Also, with the emergence of new theatre phenomena emerging from regions like Rio and São Paulo in Brazil, Lagos, Accra, Johannesburg and Maputo in the African Continent, Seoul, South Korea and of course streaming companies like Netflix, Amazon, Mansa and India’s Voot or Bigflix, ARENES provides students with a launchpad for the many options the industry is currently offering.

Our location, in Torres Vedras, one of Portugal’s foremost culture centred cities, 45 minutes from Lisbon, offers students the possibility of low-cost accommodation, healthy and affordable food and proximity to the Silver Coast for leisure activities during the course.

Meeting place: next to the White Square sculpture on top of the hill at the bottom of the stairs

A site-specific, tribute performance at White Square, created by Yael Karavan, the daughter of Dani Karavan, together with the artist Anat Zafrir (A22), marking the second year since Karavans’ passing and celebrating the renovation of the White Square.
For over 20 years, Yael Karavan has been an international artist and creator in the field of dance / visual theatre. In the course of her work, she has come across the works of art created by her father, the artist and sculptor, Dani Karavan. His environmental sculptures in Japan, France, Italy, Spain and Germany are for her alternative worlds for which she creates performance works that are site-specific. The performance at White Square refers to elements of memory with which Dani Karavan made his sculptures in Israel and around the world.

To connect with the sound in the performance, it is advisable to come equipped with a fully charged mobile phone and a good comfortable headset.

“In other forms of dance, such as flamenco or classical dance. the movements are derived from a fixed technique; they are imposed from the outside and are conventional in form. In my case, it’s the contrary, my dance is far removed from conventions and techniques, it is the unveiling of the inner life.”  TATSUMI HIJIKATA founder of Ankoku Butoh

STAGE LA NEF DES FOUS – A SHIP OF FOOLS
UNE APPROCHE DU BOUFFON AU THÉÂTRE

photo- Javi Otero from ‘A Ship of Fools’ avec Bruno Humberto et Linda Remahl

Et un jour, en regardant vers l’intérieur
J’ai vu dans cet espace entre mon ventre et ma poitrine
un petit navire d’où mes fous intérieurs
dirigeaient ma vie…

Ce stage est complet, mais vous pouvez vous inscrire sur la liste d’attente.

Le point de départ de ce travail est l’idée suivante: nous avons tous en nous-mêmes «une nef de fous»
Ces fous représentent les différentes caractéristiques/qualités qui façonnent notre personnalité. Chacun d’entre eux, à un moment donné, dirige le navire : l’amoureux.se, le/la penseur.se, le/la blagueur.se…
Il s’agit d’un thème que Yael Karavan explore depuis de nombreuses années dans le cadre de ses recherches sur la danse, en se demandant constamment : “qui me danse?”. Nous avons tellement de personnages en nous qui essaient de s’exprimer de différentes manières. Yael a donc développé des méthodes pour découvrir ces “qualités” par le biais d’un travail basé sur le caractère, en cherchant à aider ces différents fous à danser leurs histoires en nous, comme un voyage dans nos propres archétypes, en mélangeant le travail de bouffon et de butō.

Si vous êtes curieux.se de découvrir qui sont les fous qui vous habitent.
Quelle est l’histoire, l’existence, la vie à raconter ?
Le stage propose un échauffement composé de plusieurs outils d’entraînement avec des éléments de la danse Butō : étirement, force, centre, spontanéité, imagination, présence, conscience corporelle, transformation, travail avec les objets et travail sur le rythme et proposera plusieurs approches pour la découverte de vos fous dans un environnement créatif.

Who is Dancing my Body?
Quem está a Dançar o meu Corpo?
no Palacio Pancas Palha (compania Olga Roriz), Lisboa

‘Even your own arms, deep inside your body feel foreign to you, feel that they do not belong to you. Here lies an important secret. Butoh’s radical essence is hidden here’  Tatsumi Hijikata

‘Mesmo os teus próprios braços, no fundo do teu corpo sentem-se estranhos a ti, sentem que não te pertencem. Aqui reside um segredo importante. A essência radical de Butoh está aqui escondida’ – Tatsumi Hijikata, fundador do Butoh

no Forum Danca- Espaco da Penha, Lisboa

“Dentro deste corpo, existem várias coisas míticas que ainda dormem intactas… O trabalho é como escavá-las…” – Tatsumi Hijikata, fundador do Butoh

Imagens poéticas são uma das maiores potências da dança Butoh. Explorando o corpo presente, corpo vazio, o corpo enquanto recipiente e a transformação dos nossos estados físicos graças às imagens.
Butoh é uma dança de vanguarda, uma filosofia e um método que foi criado no Japão, no final dos anos 50, por Tatsumi Hijikata e Kazuo Ohno. Não se trata de uma técnica, mas de um método e uma abordagem da dança que nasce dentro de nós e nos conecta à nossa essência, natureza, universo e aos ciclos da vida e da morte.
Este workshop trabalhará os elementos da metamorfose, presença, prontidão, contraste, a dança através de imagens e tensão entre opostos. O objectivo é libertar o corpo do seu conjunto preconcebido mundano de gestos e movimentos e, assim, permitir-nos aceder a uma essência mais profunda e autêntica de movimento e expressão arquetípica.

“Dentro deste corpo, existem várias coisas míticas que ainda dormem intactas. …. O trabalho é como escavá-las…” 
Tatsumi Hijikata, fundador do Butoh

After a 1st exploration of MA the space between life and death/ light and darkness/ beauty and ugliness/ full and empty/ good and bad/ you and the world/ you and your ancestors/ between two notes, between yes and no, silence… I am offering a 2nd journey into this mysterious concept! in November!

Os principais elementos que serão trabalhados na oficina são: O mistério do espaço vazio, espaço entre – Espaço ‘MA’ O objetivo é libertar o corpo “domesticado” do conjunto de gestos e movimentos preconcebidos permitindo o acesso à profunda e autêntica essência do movimento.

The Japanese concept of Ma is something that relates to all aspects of life. It has been described as a pause in time, an interval or emptiness in space. Ma is the fundamental time and space from which life needs to grow. Space for the Japanese psyche directly impacts the individual’s progress. These principles are universal, when applied effectively they enhance the way one thinks and how one engages with one’s surroundings. Japanese can visually identify with the meaning of Ma from its kanji symbol. Ma combines door 門 and sun 日. Together these two characters depict a door through the crevice of which the sunlight peeps in 間.

Homenagem new creation in collaboration with Naomi Silman from Lume teatro has begun, premiering in Sep- Brazil /Oct Portugal 2023

HOMENAGEM é um espetáculo de teatro-dança que leva a palco o tema da extinção de espécies, flora e fauna, cuja ausência terá silenciosas mas duras repercussões na vida do nosso planeta; emergindo da linha ténue entre o trágico e o cómico, traz à superfície as contradições do comportamento humano e da vida no nosso planeta terra.

Segundo o site SPECIES EXTINCTION RATE, o número de espécies em risco crítico de extinção já atingiu os 28%. Quem são essas espécies? Porque é que estão em risco? Qual a sua participação para o equilíbrio do planeta Terra? Com a sua extinção, que parte do Planeta se perde também?

A tarefa é ambiciosa, exige uma investigação profunda e exaustiva, mas é necessário mergulhar nesta busca, sermos sensíveis perante a existência de outras espécies que, como nós, têm (ou deveriam ter) lugar neste Planeta.

“As cigarras cantam

Sem saberem 

Que é a morte que as escuta”

Matsuo Bashô

A viagem começa com a perda de alguém querido. Para quem tem fé, obter protecção divina para as pessoas queridas, significa materializar as partes do corpo salvas em cera. Poder oferecer essa parte do corpo em cera é sinal de salvação, de agradecimento. Ouvir essas histórias de dor mas também de esperança, são paisagens balsâmicas. Podem ser ouvidas como o canto das cigarras, com a convicção de que a cicatrizes que deixam são acidentes necessários. São histórias incorporadas num corpo total remendado com o desejo de poder ser melhor, em nome de outro. O meu ex-voto é em agradecimento pela fatalidade que teria sido não partilhar esta experiência.

So excited to be teaching Butoh in the beautiful Alentejo, on the cusp of the Algarve
It’s gonna be hot but we are going to dance it off into the empty body as a vessel.

“I run a shop of the body, my profession, known under the name of dancer, is an enterprise of restoration of the human.” T.Hijikata (fundador do Butoh)

“Dentro deste corpo, existem várias coisas míticas que ainda dormem intactas. …. O trabalho é como escavá-las…” – Tatsumi Hijikata, fundador do Butoh

“Inside this one body, there are various mythic things that are still sleeping intact. ….The work is how to excavate them…” – Tatsumi Hijikata

7th-17th SITUAÇÕES SUAVEMENTE POLÍTICAS De Andresa Soares 

no CAL, Lisboa

more info HERE

Estas situações são compostas por três performances – Fulano, Peixeco e Produção – que requerem a presença e/ou a implicação do público para que aconteçam.
Chamamos-lhes políticas pois, em cada uma delas, se questionam premissas inerentes aos princípios sistémicos determinantes na acção pública: a deslocação da empatia, a obsessão pelo material, a valorização relativa da vida humana, os dilemas ecológicos, a relação do prazer com a aceitação, os sistemas de produção e a exaustão provocada pela reprodutibilidade massiva, etc..
Não são manifestos mas sim experiências partilhadas mergulhadas em indagações.

More info HERE

A site specific performance in Homage to my father Dani Karavan on and with his ‘Culture Square’ at the centre of Tel-Aviv to comemorate one year since his ‘departure’ from this physical world, in collaboration with dancers from the ‘maslool’
professional Dance Program- Bikurey ha’Itim

As a child, my father, the late and great Human and Artist Dani Karavan, the creator of many public art works around the world, would ask me to go and play on his public art sculptures so that people would understand that they could and should interact with his work in order to get the experience he created for them. During the years his works of Art have become my abstract playgrounds and later in life, the inspiring sets where I had the honor to create site-specific performances around the world. Including Japan, Spain, Germany, Italy and France… and now for the first time in Tel-Aviv, part of a bigger program where people can visit his multiple art works around the city.

The performance is created with and performed by Shira Arbel, Maya Asraf, Nov Azoulay, Yuval Bar Lev, Maya Barda, Shahar Ben Meir, Mor Elkayam, Mika Goren, Layal Mazzawi, Guy Olszanski, Inbar Perry, Larissa Pfister, Tal Pochkov, Leann Reizer, Noam Zadok and Kalia Dollar Landsman

A big thanks to Sharon Miler from Tel Aviv town hall, Aviva Levinson from House Festival, Ofir Dagan, Noa Fidler, Clil Cohen and Omri Albo from the ‘Maslool’ at Bikurey ha’itim.

26-28th- Houses Festival-

Various events and walks around Tel-Aviv in homage to Dani Karavan commemorating a year to his leaving…

6-15- A Flor das Aguas- espetaculo do teatro fonte nova em Setubal

O espectáculo questiona como a cidade se integra na nossa cartografia corporal. Quais são as memórias de lugar, que histórias tece cada espaço e cada vivência? Onde estão e como se estabelecem centros, limites, periferias e fronteiras? Como circulamos e vivemos a cidade? De que forma olhamos e cuidamos os espaços naturais, como são planeados em espaço urbano?

Que amor existe a uma cidade, a um espaço natural, de que forma é que este amor resiste e renasce em interdependência e comunidade?

Coordenação de projecto: Patrícia Pereira Paixão | Criação e Interpretação: Clara Passarinho, Patrícia Pereira Paixão, Rafaela Bidarra, Sara Túbio Costa, João Mota, Graziela Dias (voz-off) | Interpretação Musical e Ambiente Sonoro: João Mota  | Investigação e Dramaturgia: Patrícia Paixão e Vanessa Amorim | Apoio à Fisicalidade: Yael Karavan | Sonoplastia: Emídio Buchinho | Figurinista: Zé Nova | Desenho de luz: José Maria Dias | Imagem, Design de Comunicação, Vídeo e Apoio à Produção: Tomás Anjos Barão | Produção e Comunicação: Graziela Dias

XI Simpósio Reflexões Cênicas Contemporâneas do LUME TEATRO
de 15 a 18 de Fevereiro de 2022 Evento on-line. 

O conceito de ecoperformance foi cunhado pela coreógrafa brasileira Maura Baiocchi como parte da inauguração de um novo ciclo de trabalhos da Taanteatro Companhia. Segundo palavras da Taanteatro a Ecoperformance entende o ambiente e o corpo como dimensões inseparáveis da criação performativa. Em uma ecoperformance, o ambiente constitui um jogo vivo e interativo de presenças e forças onde o artista não é o agente central, mas um dos componentes da performance. A mesa debaterá esse conceito e suas práticas além de suas ações de impacto político, tão necessário em nosso tempo.

Convidades: Maura Baiocchi (Taanteatro/SP); Anna Dantes (Cíclo Selvagem/RJ) e Yael Karavan (Karavan Ensemble, PT/UK/IS)

Mediação: Naomi Silman (LUME)

More info HERE

For many years my dear late father, Dani Karavan, and I were working in Japan at the same time. Him, with his amazing site-specific installations and myself with my Butoh research. We would meet there and share the same passions for Japanese aesthetics, nature, madness, and FOOD! In 2003 I had the unexpected opportunity to be invited to create a site-specific performance on one of his greatest sculpture sites entitled ‘Way to the Hidden Garden’ in Sapporo Art Park with a great group of dancers and musicians, Link to video HERE. I was later invited again and again to create work on additional pieces he created, and now, for the first time ever 3 of my performances on his sculpture sites in Japan will be presented in his exhibition- The Japan of Dani Karavan which will be inaugurated this coming Saturday 13th of November. In addition, I was also invited to perform as part of the opening and once more performing + talk with the audience a week later on Thursday the 18th at 6.30pm. Funny life, my father wanted me so much to work more here in Israel, and only now that he has passed the invitations keep on coming in….

Life…
and its
cycles…

How Fair and Square is our Human Rights Bingo? Join the ridiculously serious callers Yael Karavan and Silvia Mercuriali in a surreal Bingo night, from the comfort of your sofa. Performed in a multitude of languages, mixing stunning visual feats and movement, Bingo! is an interactive experience exposing the flaws within the rules of the game.

“Conceptually ingenious, this interactive show is part competition, part comedy and part learning experience in multiple senses… The transition to an online show is cleanly achieved, building a sense of community among the participants who are clearly instructed how to play…” The Reviews Hub – read more here

“Bingo! is a wild re-imagining of the familiar game. Karavan and Mercuriali are extremely likeable, and juggle the unpredictability of an interactive audience with impressive spontaneity… It’s a nudge to let ourselves off the hook, but remember our rights…” The Upcoming Link – more info here

Empathic Action!

An international Call Out for our Environment
in collaboration with Vincent Ordonenz

Photo Rita Vilhena & Yael Karavan

Dear friends of the world, in the face of the current pandemic we feel the need to break the silence into action for our planet. We believe that waiting for the political bodies and authorities to take action of these urgent matters is a waist of time and that we need to unite in the face of this crises in order to imagine a better future and protect our environment= ourselves. We therefore feel the need to act together now before it is too late. We believe that we are part of this wondrous nature and that we must start to have more empathy towards it hence towards ourselves. How ironic that we pollute the air of our planet and here comes Covid19 who suffocates us back, reminding us that we are part of the whole, the cause and the effect. As we are now experiencing closure of borders and social distancing we are nevertheless also experiencing, more than ever, how connected we are beyond countries and frontiers. We invite you to join our Empathic Action towards our one and only Home- Planet earth and to add to our Action with you Heart and Art.

We invite you to take part in our E-Action (empathetic action) for the planet by submitting an artwork in response to this theme. This collection of international artworks aims to include as many artists as we can worldwide compiled into an online book/gallery for dissemination across numerous platforms, working through partners, community groups, schools, museums, libraries and shared networks. Viewers will be given the option, but not obligation, to make donations and any funds raised will be given to charities to counter climate change. The works we aim to collect are of an audio-visual nature; we invite works from artists in any discipline across visual, performance, music, poetry and/or tech arts. The collection will be edited to produce a simple but immersive virtual experience taking the viewers’ on an audio-visual journey to encourage empathetic action. We see this present moment as a great opportunity to enforce and profess change, to collaborate as a world community and help protect our one and only home and the life on it.

All works of art (E-Actions) should be sent in JPG or PDF format not bigger than 10 mega
If it’s a video or a film, please send a link or a wetransfer.
To the following address: info@yaelkaravan.com
All right reserved to the artist
Please feel free to spread the word: it is time we break the silence
When sharing your work online please use #empathicactionow to spread faster and wider.
With best of wishes Yael Karavan and Vincent Ordonenz.

We are currently looking for a designer to help us with our website if you can recommend us anyone that would be greatly appreciated.

May 1st – 9th 2010 10 years to the Karavan Ensemble!!

Photo by Javi Otero with Linda Remahl and Bruno Humberto

10 years to the unforgettable experience of A ship of fools all over Brighton and in the legendary Coachwerks. We were mad, we were poetic, we had no shame we brought the inner to the outer and the wild to the streets of Brighton. I will never forget these magical days… strange to imagine that 10 years later the streets of Brighton are silent during the month of May… foolish misses and love to you all! xx
‘Let your heart be your compass!’ Xelis De Toro.

The Karavan Ensemble’s debut piece was based on the allegory of a Ship of Fools, aboard which society’s ‘misfits’ are gathered. Through dance, physical theatre, and site specific explorations a band of colourfuly edgy characters came to be. With ample audience participation, the Karavan Ensemble dared its public to open a door within, and encounter the fools that lay inside us all. Originally created and performed in Coachwerks, as part of Brighton fringe festival in May 2010.

Directed and performed by Yael Karavan with Linda Remahl, Bruno Humberto, Ana Fernandez Martinez, Sofia Fernandez Martinez, Rachel Champion, Pepa Ubera, Howard Sivills, Tamar Daly and Marion Deprez. Live music and sound composition by Tristan Shorr. Designer Sara Popowa.

Il faut des années pour qu’un bébé commence à identifier des choses, à apprendre que chaque objet a une fonction et un nom. En tant qu’adultes, nous pouvons enfreindre ces règles et découvrir l’objet au-delà de sa fonctionnalité, écouter le monde et réaliser que tout est vivant. Et tout à coup, la vie devient beaucoup plus mystérieuse, enjouée et intéressante… »

Solo site specific performance by Yael Karavan
part of the Ephemeral Exhibition @White Space Black Box

All is about the ephemeral, the volatile, the fleeting – constantly changing and reinventing itself. Some artists will pop up, others will disappear – some major works will stay throughout the year. Art will flirt with nature and science.
And merge into completely new shapes of expression.
IT WILL NEVER BE THE SAME.

March

Sunday 3rd of March 14h-17h
Butoh Workshop at Brighton Natural Health Centre

Butoh Brighton is back at the Brighton Natural Health Centre with our seasonal Butoh Sunday workshop, in March I will be sharing more than 20 years of experience having worked with the founding members of Butoh Dance in Japan and Europe. The main elements we will be explored are metamorphoses, dance through imagery, presence, awareness and the tension between opposites. The aim is to free the body from its mundane preconceived set of gestures and movements and thus allowing us to access a deeper and more authentic essence of movement and archetypal expression. Questioning why is Butoh Dance still relevant today.

“My dance is far removed from conventions and techniques, it is the unveiling of the inner life.” Tatsumi Hijikata

Open to all who would perform, this workshop offers an immersion beneath the surface of the material world. Discover objects beyond their functionality, listen and realize that everything is alive. Suddenly, life becomes much more mysterious, playful and interesting… These sessions use techniques of physical and visual theatre, Butoh, dance and mime to explore how to creatively relate to material, objects and space, how to listen to them, explore them as partners, and instigators of characters and physical states, how to transform them and allow them to transform us.

30th 7.30 Doors open– ‘A Movement of Freedom!’ Cabaret Night.

We are delighted to invite you to the first in the In/Out Cabaret series at Rosehill, Brighton.
Friday 30th March doors open at 7.30pm

‘A movement of freedom!’ is a Cabaret Night of live performance, music and unexpected surprises, curated and performed by Yael Karavan with Ed Briggs, Xelis Detoro, Tim Harbridge and special guest Joe Watson.

Friday 30th March is the Passover night…where people traditionally come together to celebrate their freedom, it’s also Good Friday, Black Friday (originally connected to Paganism rather than consumerism!), it’s a year after the triggering of article 50…and a year before the UK leaves the EU in a political move that literally threatens our freedom of movement!…so if these are not good reasons to emerge from this long cold winter into a long awaited spring and celebrate our freedoms together, then what are?!
