ButohOUT!2025 Workshop Series@ Various venues
☆ Hello from Japan ☆
I have been away from Naam for nearly seven weeks, working in Tokyo, Warsaw, Vienna, and now in Nara, Japan. During my time in all these unique and inspiring places, I have learned, been challenged, and experienced blissful moments while working with a diverse range of artists, musicians, non-artists, and even my own relatives!
(please check my instagram!)
I am currently staying in Nara, working with the Tenri University Dance Club to create a piece with 22 dancers and 18 Gagaku musicians, which will be performed on the grand stage of the Nara Centennial Hall in front of an audience of 1,500!
They are incredibly talented, have won many awards, and are beyond professional, representing the highest level of artistry (seriously, they’ve blown my mind!) 😆😆
Gagaku, recognized by UNESCO as the world’s oldest continuously performed orchestral music, was historically used as imperial court music and has a history spanning over a thousand years. It developed as ceremonial music for the imperial court, as well as for major Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines in Japan.
At first, I was quite nervous and bit scared to work with them, but I’m gradually finding more fun and excitement as we explore the depth of sound and movement in deeply spiritual ways!
Thank you for supporting me and our production this year. Check out Workshops Coming Up in January 2025.
I hope you have a wonderful festive season.
