SUMMARY:DIVINE
DESCRIPTION:Supported by a commission from CRS\, Berlin-based butoh dance artist Yuko Kaseki and ballet artist Megumi Eda present the first showing of their new collaborative dance work-in-progress\, DIVINE\, inspired by tragic tales of wronged and resilient women such as ballet’s “Giselle” and the classic Japanese Kaidan ghost story “Oiwa.” The performance will take place on Nov 13\, 2022 at 6 pm in Studio 2 at Kunstquartier Bethanien\, Mariannenplatz 2\, 10997 Berlin. Tickets are 10 euros at the door. \nThese two dancers are like oil and water\, moon and turtle\, the North and South Pole\, a crane in rubbish…. By exchanging their polar opposite approaches to movement and performance\, they assume characters plagued with the discomfort and instability of unfamiliar\, distorted bodies. These two figures with different space/time/ dimensions meet where the eye of the corona appears to have passed\, which they cross in sympathy but filled with confusion and dissonance from wildly different types of existences. Their suffering and persistence echo the paths of Giselle and Oiwa and countless other women whose divine spirits have endured objectification\, coercion\, violence\, and imprisonment in images and lives not of their own choosing or making. \nThis is only the second commission by CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) and the first production we have supported outside the United States. We became connected to Yuko Kaseki through the work of past CRS visiting instructor and performer Shinichi Momo Koga and through Yuko’s work with CAVE Art Space and Japan Society. We developed a relationship with Megumi when her daughter performed in ballet recitals at CRS under the direction of Rie Fukuzawa and through Megumi’s work with Yoshiko Chuma & the School of Hard Knocks. At Yoshiko’s suggestion\, CRS presented Megumi’s talk and documentary video art at CRS\, which grew out of Megumi’s work with Yoshiko. This project was\, in fact\, hatched at a School of Hard Kocks performance last October at Ki Smith Gallery\, and we are grateful for Yoshiko’s support and encouragement. \nMegumi Eda was born in Nagano\, Japan and had her professional debut with the Matsuyama Ballet Company at age 14 in Tokyo where she appeared in many of the ballet classics in repertoire. After appearing successfully in the Prix de Lausanne Competition\, she was invited to the Hamburg Ballet School and for the next 15 years\, as a member of the Hamburg Ballet\, the Dutch National Balletand the Rambert Dance Company\, she worked with many choreographers including John Neumeier\, Christopher Bruce\, Jiri Kylian\, Lindsey Kemp\, William Forsythe\, Hans van Manen\, Twyla Tharp and David Dawson. In 2004\, she moved to New York as a founding member of Armitage Gone! Dance and has continued a close collaboration with Karole Armitage to this day. In addition to her work with Armitage she has begun to incorporate other art forms including sculpture and video into her own installations and performances. In New York\, she has developed her passion as a video editor and a director. She has been collaborating with Yoshiko Chuma since 2014 as a Performer/Filmmaker. She won a Bessie Award (NYC Dance & Performance Awards) in 2004. Megumi was named one of Dance Magazine’s BEST PERFORMERS 2015.  Since 2018 she has lived in Berlin and has recently presented her solo choreography in Venice and Berlin. \nmegumieda.com \nYuko Kaseki is a director\, choreographer\, teacher and Butoh dancer who has lived in Berlin long and short enough. She has been searching for a way to penetrate the space between physical and spiritual expression. Every day she trains her perception to find the moment of extraordinary in the ordinary.She studied Butoh dance and Performing Art in HBK Braunschweig with Anzu Furukawa and danced in her company Dance Butter Tokio and Verwandlungsamt in 1989-2000. \nin 1995\, Yuko Kaseki and Marc Ates founded the dance company cokaseki. cokaseki is as an ensemble for performative research around dance\, visual arts and experimental music in live events and improvisations at theater\, gallery\, site specific space\, and film… Since then various members have been part of the group in different roles and changing creative responsibilities. Collaborations have been taking place in numerous international projects with performers such as Christine Bonansea\, Sherwood Chen\, Shinichi Iova Koga\, 4RUDE\, Minako Seki\, Lisa Stertz\, Valentin Tszin\, Teo Vlad\, musicians such as Antonis Anissegos\, Kriton Beyer\, Audrey Chen\, Contagious\, Kirikoo Des\, Axel Dörner\, Echo Ho\, Emilio Gordoa\, miu\, Nguyễn + Transitory\, Yasumune Morishige\, Olaf Rupp\, Tot Onyx\, Sasha Pushkin\, SEQUOIA\, Kazuhisa Uchihashi\, Xenon\, and visual artists such as\, Nikhil Chopra\, Morvarid K\, Sarane Lecompte\, Arata Mori\, Justin Palermo\, Chiharu Shiota\, Peter Zach\, and more. \nSolo and ensemble performances\, collaborations\, and improvisations are performed throughout Europe\, Finland\, Norway\, Georgia\, Turkey\, Russia\, Japan\, Taiwan\, Korea\, Malaysia\, Thailand\, Indonesia\, India\, Burkina Faso\, Canada\, Mexico\, Brazil\, Chile\, Uruguay\, Argentina\, Australia\, and the USA. \nThese works are accumulations of poetic and vivid images that incorporate the spirit of Butoh\, and her performance aims to reflect the outsider’s existence. \nHer strong interest about breaking border of physical expression\, leads to projects with artists with mixed ability such as Theater Thikwa (Berlin)\, Roland Walter (Berlin)\, Sung Kuk Kang (Seoul)\, Zan-Chen Liao (Taipei). \nYuko Kaseki performs and organizes improvisation series “AMMO-NITE GIG” (Vol.1- 48 and on going) with international performers and musicians since 2004. \nVarious collaboration\, AmaTerraz and quantsquat with Teo Vlad (Berlin)\, inkBoat (San Francisco)\, CAVE (New York)\, Tableau Stations (San Francisco)\, improvisation duo with Antonis Anissegos (Berlin)\, ITAKO with Kazuhisa Uchihashi (Berlin)\, Poema Theater (Moscow)\, Theater Salad (Seoul) and many others. \ncokaseki.com

SUMMARY:re(in)spiration Performance Workshop with Yuko Kaseki\, Miho Tsujii and Kanako Sehara
DESCRIPTION:CRS invites you to a two-day Re(in)spiration Performance Workshop in Berlin with Berlin-based Butoh artist Yuko Kaseki\, Japan-based performance artist Miho Tsujii\, and Japan-based calligrapher Kanako Sehara on Nov 19 – 20\, 2022 from 11 am  – 5 pm each day. The workshop fee is 180 euros. \nWorkshop participants will have the option of also joining a public performance presentation on Nov 20 at 7 pm. Attendance to the performance as a viewer is by donation. \nThe workshop and performance will take place at\nDOCK11\, Saal 3\nKastanienallee 79\, 10437 Berlin \nInfo/Registration: info@cokaseki.com \nThe physical activity of inhaling and exhaling grounded in Japanese re(in)spirational practices is foundational to the “movement of life\,” whose process evokes sound\, movement\, form and the ever-transformational waves\, resonating with each other. \nThe blending of different Japanese arts\, such as butoh\, classical Noh\, and calligraphy\, contextualized in other cultures and personal experiences creates a unique form of expression. \nThis workshop begins with the breath\, the process of becoming words\, and the origins of the written word; then using the whole body\, the breath gives rise to voice\, to sounds\, and to dancing in the revolution of the spirit of the word. \nTime goes round and round\nDancing around and around\nForming the waves of wrinkles\nLight and shades of wrinkle folds\nRe(in)spiring cycles of life\nBorders dissolve\, ground shifts\nCirculation of the universe \nThis workshop is supported by CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) and hosted by Yuko Kaseki with ICAS (International Culture & Art Spot). \nKaseki\, Tsujii\, and Sehara with ICAS produced the KOTOHOGI SALON and KOTOHOGI SOUND HEAD supported by the PLUS project in Ibaraki City\, Osaka\, last August. This event is an evolution process of that project. \nAnnouncement Calligraphy:  Kanako Sehara \nABOUT THE WORKSHOP LEADERS \n\n\nYuko Kaseki is a Director\, choreographer\, Butoh dancer\, performer\, and teacher in Berlin. She has been created various projects with international musicians such as Kazuhisa Uchihashi\, Antonis Anissegos\, Emilio Gordoa\, Audrey Chen\, Axel Dörner\, and others\, visual artists such as Morvarid K\, Chiharu Shiota\, Nikhil Chopra\, Arata Mori and others\, dancer/performer such as Shinichi Iova Koga\, Minako Seki\, Christine Bonansea\, Sherwood Chen\, Valentin Tszin and others. Solo and ensemble performances\, improvisations are performed around 30 countries. These creations are the accumulation of poetic and vivid images that incorporate the spirit of Butoh\, performance\, and live art. Her performance aims to reflect the outsider’s existence. Collaboration with the Disabled Theater Thikwa (Berlin) overturns the concept of her dance and has a great influence on subsequent activities. Her strong interest in breaking borders of physical expression leads to many collaborations with international mixed ability artists.\ncokaseki.com\nPhoto: TAIFUN\n\n\n Miho Tsujii\, a performance artist\, conceives\, directs and performs solo and collaborative works.
