May
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.

6 – 7 de 11h-17h- Making the Invisible Visible BUTOH Bi-lingual Workshop no Palacio Pancas Palha (compania Olga Roriz), Lisboa
photo from In-Between solo by Yael Karavan
“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
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 o Butoh esta ainda extremamente vital e relevante nos dias de hoje.
Karavan tem mais de 25 anos de experiência em Butoh, durante os quais teve a oportunidade de trabalhar com os fundadores do Butoh no Japão: Kazuo Ohno e Motofuji San – esposa de Hijikata – bem como com Tadashi Endo e MAMU dance theatre, Yumiko Yoshioka e Ten-Pen-Chi, Sankai Juku, Minako Seki, Carlota Ikeda, Yuko Kaseki, Akira Kasai, Ko Morobushi, Natsu Nakajuma entre outros.
======================================
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. Questioning how Butoh can be translated into a European Body and why is it not just relevant but extremely vital nowadays.
Karavan shares more than 25 years of experience in Butoh, during which she had the opportunity to work with the founders of Butoh in Japan: Kazuo Ohno and Motofuji San – wife of Hijikata – as well as with Tadashi Endo and MAMU dance theatre, Yumiko Yoshioka and Ten-Pen-Chi, Sankai Juku, Minako Seki, Carlota Ikeda, Yuko Kaseki, Akira Kasai, Ko Morobushi, Natsu Nakajuma among others.

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.

February
3rd at 16h Human Rights Bingo is Back in its LIVE version! Scratch at BAC, London
30th Jan -4th of Feb we will be in residence at BAC, London

created and performed in collaboration with sorelitta, Silvia Mercuriali
as well as Ilustrator Izhar Cohen, props by Tim Harbridge, costumes by Lucy Bradridge and moreConceptually 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 theparticipants who are clearly instructed how to play.
★★★★TheReviewsHub
Bingo! is a wild reimagining of the familiar game. Karavan and Mercuriali are extremely likable, 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.
★★★★TheUpComing
It’s all weaved together cleverly, and delivered with great gusto by our two energetic performers, who hold the space admirably – with disco-dancing and clever quipping a plenty. Jolly good fun, and educational to boot! Total Theatre – Dorothy Max Prior
Audience feedback
It was fun. Great energy. Sense of humour. Creative and lots of talent. Wonderful illustrations. We had a great time, learning while laughing, thinking while playing.
Thank you, Yael and Silvia. This was my best zoom experience!
Watch this space for more updated dates
It’s gonna be bonkers!

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
Exploraremos la tensión entre opuestos, el espacio “entre” -llamado MA en japonés- lo misterioso, loco, uno de los elementos principales del Butoh, las facetas en contraste en la naturaleza y en nosotros, así como el espacio en el vacío de las palabras, de imágenes y el cuerpo.
“Constantemente renacemos. Y no será suficiente simplemente salir del útero materno. Necesitamos muchos nacimientos. Renacer siempre y en todas partes. Constantemente.” Tatsumi Hijikata
Los principales elementos que serán trabajados en el taller son: metamorfosis, presencia, prontitud, contraste, la danza a través de imágenes y tensión entre opuestos. El objetivo es liberar el cuerpo del conjunto de gestos y movimientos preconcebidos y mundanos al que está acostumbrado, permitiendo el acceso a la profunda y auténtica esencia del movimiento y expresión arquetípica.
“Mi baile está lejos de las convenciones y técnicas. Mi danza es el desvelar de una vida interna”. Tatsumi Hijikata

“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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

Fas parte da Programação Geral do
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…

“De novo e de novo nós renascemos. Não é suficiente simplesmente nascer do ventre da mãe. Muitos nascimentos são necessários. Renascer sempre e em todos os lugares. Mais uma vez’ Tatsumi Hijikata Fundador do Butoh“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

“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

24 -25 ad 19h – MA-MA na bibliotequa de Marvila, Lisboa
Local: Biblioteca de Marvila (auditório)
Rua António Gedeão
Telefone:218 173 000
MA-MA é uma performance que visa refletir sobre o lugar onde vivemos, o planeta Terra / mãe Terra e para encontrar os seus paralelos com os nossos corpos/ corpos de mulheres. Sobre a nossa fragilidade e o perigo eminente ao qual está sujeita a vida na terra, através da pressão do aumento demográfico humano, da nossa ambição desmedida e inconsciente, e também das mudanças climáticas e do aquecimento global.
Ver o planeta Terra como um corpo fértil de mulher foi uma metáfora dada em várias tradições que se concentra nos aspetos vitais e nutritivos da natureza ao encarná-la na forma da mãe/ mulher. E agora, que acontece com a nossa mãe Terra, que está sendo submetida a níveis extremos de poluição e emissões de carbono, quantidades escandalosas de plástico, monocultura, etc..
Pretendemos observar os efeitos que as nossas ações e os resíduos das nossas ações têm sobre o nosso corpo. A performance inclui um vídeo criado na zona da Castanheira de Pêra em Portugal.

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.

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.

Oportunidade rara de trabalhar com aclamada artista de Teatro físico e Butoh
Santa Apolónia – Lisboa
Leva anos para um bebé começar a identificar as coisas, aprender que cada objeto tem função e nome, mas quando quebramos essas regras e descobrimos o objeto além da sua funcionalidade, a vida se torna mais misteriosa, lúdica e interessante. Escutamos o mundo e nos damos conta de que tudo é vivo. Yael propõe a sua ampla experiência de teatro físico e visual, dança, e Butoh para explorar maneiras de se relacionar criativamente com a matéria, os objetos e o espaço, explorando-os como parceiros, provocadores de personagens, inspiração e vocabulário. Como ouvi-los, transformá-los e deixar que nos transformem.
Valor:55 €até 17 de Maio; 65 €após.

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

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?!

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… »

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.

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?!

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.

Oportunidade rara de trabalhar com aclamada artista de Teatro físico e Butoh
Santa Apolónia – Lisboa
Leva anos para um bebé começar a identificar as coisas, aprender que cada objeto tem função e nome, mas quando quebramos essas regras e descobrimos o objeto além da sua funcionalidade, a vida se torna mais misteriosa, lúdica e interessante. Escutamos o mundo e nos damos conta de que tudo é vivo. Yael propõe a sua ampla experiência de teatro físico e visual, dança, e Butoh para explorar maneiras de se relacionar criativamente com a matéria, os objetos e o espaço, explorando-os como parceiros, provocadores de personagens, inspiração e vocabulário. Como ouvi-los, transformá-los e deixar que nos transformem.
Valor:55 €até 17 de Maio; 65 €após.

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.
