ButohOUT! 2024: Performance Making Workshop - Visible and In-Visible
ButohOUT!2024
Performance Making Workshop - Visible and In-Visible
By Yumi Umiumare
This workshop is for you to explore the laboratory process of performance-making through unique, constructive, and deconstructive styles of Butoh.
With over 30 years of experience diving into the world of Butoh, Yumi draws upon her unique interdisciplinary approaches and diverse cultural influences in Butoh, contemporary theatre-making, Butoh Cabaret, and her recent practices of ritual and spirituality. Over the weekend, Yumi leads participants through 10 focused points (as below), guiding them to explore the physical and philosophical dimensions of Butoh from both classical and contemporary perspectives.
Butoh can be mysterious, abstract, and esoteric, yet it can also serve as a creative gateway, a catalyst, and even lead to unexpected breakthroughs.
As a participant, you will be taken on a journey to explore the visible and invisible aspects of Butoh and performance-making. Yumi guides you to explore your own idiosyncratic creative process to ‘actualise’ your original inspiration and ideas.
The workshop welcomes both experienced practitioners and those new to the practice who are willing to dive into the creative process. It will include visualisations and conversations and aims to be accessible to all bodies present. Instruction will be given according to participants' preferences.
