KaBuKu World | 傾く世界 - Performance Making Workshop

“We're all kind of weird and twisted and drowning.” — Author: Haruki Murakami.

This workshop is for participants to explore the laboratory process of performance making. Yumi Umiumare will draw upon her unique diverse cultural influences and interdisciplinary approach​es, includ​ing, Butoh, cabaret, abstract theatre and her recent practices of ritual and spirituality. The participants will be taken ​on a journey to explore their own individual process to ‘find’ their own unique voice through creative expression.

This workshop includes,

> Guided warm-up
> Exercises for awakening the senses of body, mind, and spirit
> Laboratory process of conceiving/creating work as an individual and some ensemble work (with groups)
> Feedback and assistance ​on individual participants’ process by Yumi Umiumare

This workshop will use some visualisations, conversation and aims to be accessible to all bodies present. The instruction will be given according to participant​s' preference.
