ButohOUT! 2022 Spring - EOI

 

ButohOUT!2022
KABUKU-OFF!
Blessed Chaos - 祝福されたカオス

EOI by Mon 17 Oct 2022

We are back again with high spirit, after having been nominated as ‘the best Ensemble - Dance’ by Green Room Award early this year.

We would love to form ButohOUT! Ensemble again this year to celebrate our ButohoUT! 2022 Kabuku-Off! curated and directed by the Artistic Director, Yumi Umiumare and other Melbourne-based highly acclaimed artists and collaborators.

This is a non-paid performance opportunity, but we believe that the laboratory & development process leading to the final performance week with professional artists (Yumi Umiumare, Emma Bathgate, Jacqui Stockdale, Ai Yamamoto) would definitely feed into your own creative practices in multi-faceted ways.

On the left menu (or below if mobile) is the full rehearsal and performance schedule, and we are aware of all of you having to juggle other commitments. However, we appreciate if you could attend as many as rehearsals /performances as possible, so you can keep the rigorous, valuable process of development throughout.


What we want from you are;

Creative Intention

  • To develop and create 1 x own ‘piece’ (e.g. 5-10min, durational, or any style) which will be able to adapt to our presentation style in ButohOUT! 2022.

  • To be a part of ensemble which Yumi will direct between 'the invidicual sections’.


Commitment

  • Attend as many rehearsals as possible you can

  • To help our bump-in and preparation if you can

  • To attend the dress rehearsal & performance dates (see schedule)

  • Ideally, already attended/will attend our WS series in 2022. Here is the current or upcoming: Current Weekly Workshop | Nov Weekend workshop (please contact us for any questions on this).


EOI Fun ideas for DJ night
To bring your exciting ideas for ButohOUT! NightOUT! (a BO own themed night club on Fri 25 & Sat 26 Nov), such as pop-up performance work/signing on those nights, please let us know.  

 

What we can offer you are;

  • Creative platform with venue hire, technical equipments

  • Artistic support and exchange for your own creation

  • Publicity and promotion support including flyer, program and documentation photos

  • Insurance

  • Snacks and drinks and fun!

  • Dinner & Drinks on the final day 27th Nov


The ButohOUT! 2022 Spring Season has been supported by Abbotsford Convent and other income sources such as our workshop series, ticket selling and bar sales, however, not from the major federal and state funding, unfortunately.

Therefore, we would not able to contribute any monetary remuneration to the ButohOUT! Ensemble for their time and artistic contribution, but we will can offer the items mentioned above.

Last but not at least, it would be appreciated if we all would be creatively flexible in working together for new possibilities, given that sometimes things can get stressful.

We hope to exchange a sense of great willingness and artistic integration through this journey!

Thank you so much for your interest.
ButohOUT!
