Drawing primarily from Performance Art, Action Theater, Noh Theater, Butoh Dance, Noguchi Taiso, Body Weather, Internal Arts and Corporeal Mime, this workshop will examine and blend the borders between these distinct disciplines and will center meta-explorations of how we create material, the value systems underpinning our process, and how our creations are embedded in and reflective of the culture around us.TOTAL DURATION, 6 HOURSMay 2 (Saturday): 10:30am - 1:30pmMay 3 (Sunday): 10:30am - 1:30pmAbout the teachers:For over three decades Jubilith has been on a quest to embody the essences of beauty and grace. Nohgaku has been her greatest teacher. With its inherent, time-tested and unique principles she is learning how to be, both on stage and in life. Elke navigates through the fields of Performance Art and conceptual dance. Her practice in Corporeal Mime, a codified physical theatre taught by Thomas Leabhart, enables her to place geometry and resistance in the body in order to explore metaphysical counterweights. Cass is a lineage-holder, senior teacher and organizational director for Action Theater. She directs, creates and performs theater works that invite collaborations across media – film, music, modern dance, Butoh and Aikido. Shinichi’s lifetime in the martial arts and commitment to the Daoist internal arts deeply inform his perception of motion through space. Butoh dance remains an open platform to generate form from mind, body mechanics and the energies that drive the dance to life. Mari has been teaching, choreographing and performing as a soloist for over four decades, growing from her time with Michizo Noguchi, the founder of Noguchi Taiso. “Human beings are living water bags.” Dana has been deeply investigating the intersection of dance and biological life, starting with her time on Min Tanaka’s farm several decades ago. Her movement research centers around the cultivation of an evolving, responsive, and animate practice.
