October 6-17
Leimay Ludus: Guest Teacher Lab (Dairakudakan butoh with Daiichiro Yuyama)

Performance Collaboration & Public Presentation (40 hours)
October 6-17: 6pm-10pm (Days off: Oct 11-12 // Public presentation: Oct 16&17)

​In this 40-hour module, Daiichiro aims to create a new collaborative work, based on the Dairakudakan body theory, together with all participants. Participants will be exposed to all aspects of making a piece, which can include costume making and technical preparations, and it will culminate in a public presentation at CAVE.

The theme of this collaborative piece is “Gap”. “Gap” refers to the idea of disparity: that which is not fitted, or that which is disjunct or apart. This could be the physical, spatial relationships, such as those inhabited within a city, or more temporal or intangible concepts, such as the difference between generations or sexes. Daiichiro wishes to explore the potential that exists at the cusp of un-fitting, of a perpetual in between; an abundance springs from a crowd of bodies which prevails within this state of existence.

Leimay Ludus Guest Teacher Lab: Butoh with Yukio Suzuki

This Guest Teacher Lab is divided into three different modules. Modules can be taken separately or together. Early registration rates and discounts are only open to those who plan on taking all three modules.

This Guest Teacher Lab is open to dancers, body-rooted performers, physical actors of all levels, ages, and capabilities. Modules will explore the following elements and subjects:

Module I // Foundation I: “To know, hear, and feel the body” (12 hrs)
Nov 6th & 7th, 6pm-10pm; Nov 8th, 10am-2pm

In this Guest Teacher Lab, Suzuki will guide participants to move and feel their bodies on a conscious level. Through connecting and separating between body and consciousness, participants will explore their “body of freedom,” opening up a new way of experiencing and moving the body. It all begins when the body is felt carefully.

Module II // Foundation II: “Develop your body to connect Dance” (12 hrs)
Nov 10th-12th, 6pm-10pm

In this session Suzuki will share his way of how to use, show, be conscious of the body based on different Butoh principles. Participants are invited to excavate their new bodies through Suzuki’s synthesis of and approach to butoh and his ensuing dance technique. Participants will find in these explorations both strength and flexibility that can be carried into many physical expressions of dance.

Module III  /// CREATION: “Catch the moment of becoming Dance” (16hrs)
Nov 14th & 15th, 10am-2pm; Nov 16th & 17th, 6pm-10pm.

This session will focus on exploring each participant’s individual way of dancing. Here, it is meaningful to question “What is dance? When does ‘it’ become dance?” and continuously challenge ourselves to embody “it”. Rather than copying another’s movement, it is important that you catch the moment “it” becomes dance through your own body experience. Make your own dance from ‘nothing’, instead of learning a prescribed something. Experience how “it” becomes the work.

Single Modules: $180.54
Module I, II, III: $535.84
