What is our New Ab/Normal? | 24-25 April 2021

 

 
 

ButohOUT!2021
New Ab/Normal
新しい異常

This is a unique weekend workshop for participants to dive into an interdisciplinary collaboration between Butoh, voice, and visual art. We will be led by a trio of oddball experts: Yumi Umiumare (Butoh), Emma Bathgate (voice) and Jacqui Stockdale (visual arts/mask/collage).

Participants will be guided upon a search for something indescribable yet internally provocative; tantalising and thrilling. Together we will facilitate a dive into the unexpected wonders of a world in which anything is possible.

Something odd,

Something not fitting in 

Something not matching 

Something bent and broken

Something abandoned 

yet something perfect for you at this moment”

All levels of experience are welcome to share the space, energy and interaction of our New Ab/Normal.

Your safety is our priority

We take your safety seriously and have put in place the following COVID safety measures to ensure you are able to feel free and have fun whilst moving:

  • The capacity of each session is 20-25 participants to ensure physical distancing and to comply with government directions (please note: we will continue to adhere to government restrictions, and will notify you directly if this affects this program);

  • Each participant will be provided with their own floor markers to mark out their dance space to ensure safe distancing;

  • The workshop area whilst outside will be demarcated for the duration of the event to ensure members of the public are aware and ensure physical distancing;

  • You are encouraged to bring your own water bottle and water as the site water fountains have been switched off to reduce contamination;

  • Markers and any other equipment will be thoroughly cleaned with disinfectant between each session; and

  • Wearing a mask is mandatory inside and when you cannot maintain physical distancing, unless you have a lawful exemption for not wearing one.
