aBOUT: Butoh Weekend Workshop : Creative Gate Way

Yumi Umiumare and Kyoko Amara in INVOCATIONたまおこし2023 )

"Western dance begins with its feet firmly planted on the ground, whereas Butoh begins with a dance wherein the dancer tries in vain to find their feet." - Tatsumi Hijikata

Butoh can be mysterious, abstract, and esoteric, yet it can also serve as a creative gateway, catalyst, and even lead to unexpected breakthroughs. 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.

The workshop is welcoming both experienced practitioners and those new to the practice.

The 10 Focus points:

  1. Presence and Being:在り方

  2. Gravity /Suspension :重さ /つられる体

  3. Isolation :”Each part of the body has its own kingdom”「体それぞれの部分に王国がある」

  4. Internal and External Landscape : 内側と外側

  5.  'Ma'( sense of emptiness) and accumulations: 間(ま)と溜(ため)

  6. Repetitions : 反復

  7. Form /Mask : 型/面

  8. Form -> Non Form -> Trans-Formation : 形 -> 無形 ->変容

  9. Imagination/Creation:想像/創造

  10. Creative Gateway : 創造性の入り口へ
