Easter Dance Workshop in Tavira, Portugal

Workshop Movement of Becoming by Yuko Kominami

From 1^st to 5^th April, 2018

 

This five-day workshop explores movement of metamorphosing inside/outside. We work both outdoor and indoor.

 

“Movement of becoming” is a series of the workshop Yuko Kominami has been giving based on Butoh practice and her personal research. Movement of becoming means the movement of dissolving into something else – a process of metamorphosing.

 

We will practice metamorphosing into basic elements (water, soil, flower, wind, bird) sensing the elements outdoor, connecting to their movements, see how it metamorphoses itself indoor/outdoor and inside/outside of our body.

The morning session consists of sensing, connecting exercises with physical training which goes along with them. And the afternoon session will be dedicated to explore how to use the morning work in improvisation and composition. Each day we work on one material:

1^st April – Water

2^nd April – Soil

3^rd April – Flower

4^th April – Bird

5^th April – Wind

The workshop guides participants to sharpen their antennae and reinforce the connections with the inside and the outside world. It is useful for anyone who works in performing art and also anyone who is interested in well-being and strong connections to the environment around us.
