Twisted | 捻れ - Art of the twist
FACILITATOR : Yumi Umiumare

“We're all kind of weird and twisted and drowning.” — Author: Haruki Murakami

This weekend workshop is for the participants who want to delve into the depths of their true nature and individual uniqueness.

They will find their own centre, embracing an open and non-linear perspective of ‘twist’. Through hybrid styles of classical and contemporary approaches to Butoh, Yumi will introduce various exercises of Butoh, including imaginary and character work, authentic presence, and individual narratives to uncover concealed and unknown territories.

Exploring ButohOUT! 2022's artistic theme of KaBuKu (bent and out of the ordinary), the participants will be encouraged to expand their limits, embrace the positive sensation of being 'twisted' and 'untwisted' both physically and metaphorically, in order to gain a deeper sense of liberation in our twisted realities. 

At the end of the workshop series, a short performance piece will be created. - Showing will be optional.
