๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ด๐ฟ๐ฎ๐บ: physical training focused on breath and vital Ki energy, imagination exercises for opening various physical and mental states (animal body, ancestors, emptiness, samurai dance), evoking memories inscribed in our bodies, awakening our subconsciousness and collective memory - from there is a step to beyond, to the state where movement can be born from chaos and depersonalisation, and take clear form, rhythm and choregraphic structure.
The workshop will also include a performance by participants for the public, which will take place at the end of the workshop. Participants will therefore have a unique opportunity to prepare a presentation under Sumako's guidance.

๐ฆ๐๐บ๐ฎ๐ธ๐ผ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ธ๐ถ is Japanese dancer and choreographer. She studied traditional Japanese performing arts and butoh. Her teacher was Tadashi Suzuki (art of Noh, Kabuki in a contemporary context) and Isso Miura (butoh). She studied philosophy and psychology (University of Tokyo). She worked with many significant artists (Grotowski, Barba, Leotard, Adrien and others).
Among with butoh her training is based on traditional Japanese theatre and martial arts, where treating with Ki energy and breath is focused to open our sensibility. Sumako denotes butoh as 'the dance on the edge' where expression and movement appears from emergency and vital necessity. As a samurai or an animal, in emergent situation our body finds how to react immediately without logical thinking. Empty/dead body is a key notion here. Empty and depersonalized dancer can wake up ancient memories encoded in our 'reptilian brain' or 'DNA'. From there movement is born, and we can touch the chaos and shadows of our subconsciousness, but not only to stay there - through the opening of a fertile field of the collective memory we can share deep emotions with an audience.
