To the Abyss of Labyrinth Butoh Performance by Yumiko Yoshioka, March 2017, Malaysia

TO THE ABYSS OF LABYRINTH

Butoh performance

27 March 2017, Blackbox DPAC.

Presented by SOUBI SHA

Supported by 

Yoga KU

To the Abyss of Labyrinth

It is an experimental dance performance with structure improvisation, exploring the unknown passages and forgotten-shadowy side of our inner labyrinth.

The more we explore, the more we are lost in the darkness. 

Yet, illumination (light) appears to guide us to the abyss of labyrinth.

Something unanalysable and nameless may come from the cervices and cracks there, celebrating the mystery of life together with us.

Workshop's content:
The main focus of the workshop is a conscious research of our body/mind/soul unification, 
so we can deeply enjoy the intrinsic process of metamorphosis through the spirit of dance.
Through a continuous exploration of our past collective memories, we can strike a vein of abundant creative resources, enriching the essence of our life. The body is a receptacle of time.
Body resonance is a key to opening up the doors of an ever-changing world inside and outside of ourselves, which helps the body to unfold its secrets, holding them up until they shine and tremble. 
Everything is in resonance with each other.Through a dialogue with our body, we can learn to be moved by inner and outer forces, thus realizing we are a part of the Universe. A dance of metamorphosis inevitably appears.


Workshop Content: 

*release exercises, inspired by Noguchi Taiso (Gymnastics), Taichi and Yoga
*breathing exercises 
*dynamic training for the flow of energy
*Butoh-related work to activate our universal memories
(sensitization, combination of image and movement with antenna exercises 
such as figure of 8, water ball, animal, insect, snake, witch and fairy,
the creatures inside us, hanging body, walking, dialogue with a partner etc)
*structured improvisation, free association
