RADIONICA BUTO PLESA U SRBIJI — RADICAL RESONANCE, OD 2. DO 8. JULA

Dragi plesači, praktikanti i ljubitelji buto plesa, sa radošću najavljujemo sedmodnevnu radionicu buto plesa sa Julie Becton Gillum, pod nazivom „Radical Resonance“, koja će se održati u Srbiji

O radionici „Radical Resonance“

Tokom radionice, učesnici će istraživati mogućnosti svojih tela u njihovom prirodnom obliku, uključujući plutanje, viseće položaje i različite kvalitete pokreta ili nepokretnosti. Vežbe iz prakse tela sa vodom (Noguchi Taiso) pomoći će u uklanjanju uobičajenih društvenih i kulturnih obrazaca ponašanja, vodeći plesače ka stanju telesne praznine. U tom trenutku, oslobođeno starih navika, nesvesno telo može slobodno da reaguje na sopstvene senzacije, sile i emocije. Učesnici će biti podstaknuti da prošire svoj spektar pokreta tako da obuhvate suptilno telo, avangardno telo, telo koje bledi i telo koje se oslobađa kontrole.

O buto plesu

Buto potiče iz posleratnog Japana i predstavlja snažnu i revolucionarnu formu plesa. U butou, telo se koristi smelo – kao bojno polje za postizanje lične, društvene ili političke transformacije. U svojim ranim oblicima, buto je bio pod uticajem i referencama na zapadne umetničke pravce: nemački ekspresionizam, dadaizam, nadrealizam, egzistencijalizam i pokret Fluksus, koji su u to vreme oblikovali tokijsku andergraund i avangardnu umetničku scenu.

Osnivači butoa, Tacumi Hidžikata i Kazuo Ohno, bili su obučeni u nemačkom modernom plesu, što je snažno uticalo na razvoj nemačkog ekspresionizma. Kasnije su razvili različite pristupe: Hidžikata je razvio „ankoku buto“, ples potpune tame, koji se bavi grotesknim, apsurdnim i temama žrtvovanja, borbe i smrti. Ohnov pristup je bio razigran, svetao i prožet životom. Savremeni buto danas pokušava da uskladi ova dva kontrastna pravca. Filozofski, buto izmiče strogim definicijama kako bi otkrio duboku, ličnu i neponovljivu lepotu ljudskog duha.

O Noguchi Taiso praksi

Noguchi Taiso podrazumeva da prirodni pokret bez napora ne treba da se bori protiv gravitacije, već da je prigrli i koristi njenu silu kao podršku pokretu. Osnovni princip jeste pokret kao reakcija. Umesto da se telo kreće svesno i planski, praktikant stvara uslove da se pokret spontano dogodi kao prirodan odgovor. Ovu praksu preuzeli su mnogi buto umetnici, kao i savremeni plesači i glumci u Japanu, zbog njenog potencijala da telo oslobodi naučenih, površnih i kulturno uslovljenih obrazaca ponašanja, čineći ga transparentnijim i usklađenim sa univerzalnim silama koje deluju u prirodi.

O predavačici

Julie Becton Gillum je umetnička direktorka Asheville Butoh Festivala koji traje već 14 godina, a više od 40 godina se bavi stvaranjem, izvođenjem i podučavanjem plesa u SAD, Evropi, Aziji i Meksiku.

Noguchi Taiso je postao jednako važan deo njenog rada, koji je produbila zahvaljujući radu sa Mari Osanai i Imre Tormanom. Julie Becton Gillum predaje buto već 25 godina, a Noguchi Taiso 10 godina.

Dear dancers, practitioners and butoh lovers we are happy to announce seven days workshop, from 2nd to 8th of July in Butoh dance with Julie Becton Gillum, Radical Resonance in Serbia.
About workshop Radical Resonance
During the workshop, participants will investigate the possibilities of their bodies in their natural form, including floating, hanging, and various qualities of movement or stillness. Exercises from Noguchi Taiso water body practice will help to remove customary societal and cultural behaviors, guiding dancers toward a state of bodily emptiness. At this point, without the constraints of old habits, the unconscious body can freely respond to its sensations, forces, and emotions. Dancers will be instructed to expand their range of movements to include the subtle body, the avant-garde body, the fading body, and the unleashed body.
About Butoh
Originating in post-WWII Japan, butoh is a potent and revolutionary dance form. Butoh uses the body brazenly as a battleground to attain personal, social, or political transformation. In its early forms, butoh embraced and referenced Western artistic movements: German Expressionism, Dadaism, Surrealism, Existentialism, and Fluxus, all of which pervaded the Tokyo underground and the avant-garde art scene at that time. The co-founders of butoh, Tatsumi Hijikata and Kazuo Ohno trained in German modern dance, which was integral to the development of German Expressionism. But, eventually, they took opposite approaches to their dance-making. Hijikata’s work became known as ankoku butoh (dance of utter darkness); he embraced the grotesque and the absurd, exploring themes of sacrifice, struggle, and death. Ohno’s butoh was playful, humorous, and filled with light and life. Today’s butoh is influenced by both Hijikata and Ohno and wrestles to balance those contrary approaches. Philosophically, butoh slips between the cracks of definition in order to reveal the fervent beauty of the unique human spirit.
About Noguchi Taiso
Noguchi proposes that natural effort-free movement does not fight gravity but embraces it, using its force to assist the movement. A main principle of Noguchi Taiso is movement as a reaction. Instead of moving intentionally, the practitioner creates the conditions for the movement to arise as a natural response. Noguchi Taiso has been adopted by many butoh, dance, and theatre practitioners in Japan especially for its ability to empty the body of various learned, superficial, and culturally derived patterns of behavior, making it more transparent, aligning it with the more universal forces that are at play.
About the teacher

Julie Becton Gillum, artistic director of the 14-year-running Asheville Butoh Festival, has been creating, performing, and teaching dance in the US, Europe, Asia, and Mexico for over 40 years. She has practiced butoh for 27 years. Gillum was awarded the 2008-09 North Carolina Choreography Fellowship and used the funds to travel to Japan to study Butoh.
Since 2019 she has been active in India, Serbia, Georgia, Greece, Mexico, and the USA. Recent performances at the Amsterdam Butoh Festival (October 2023), Seattle Butoh Festival (November 2023), and NYU Abu Dhabi Art Museum ( February 2024) were well received.
Her most influential mentors in butoh have been: Anzu Furukawa, Diego Piñon, Yoshito Ohno, Natsu Nakajima, and Seasaku. Noguchi Taiso has become equally important for Gillum whose studies with Mari Osanai and Emre Thormann have refined her practice. She has been guiding butoh for 25 years and Noguchi Taiso for 10 years.
This workshop will be held in countryside, small town two hours from Belgrade, where we'll be accommodated for seven days, working and dancing together.
