BEYOND THE BORDERS : workshop & performance |
|
A new source for transmission of the reality of corporeal expression to the next generation |
||||||
|
||||||
| Artists are to be invited for workshops and performances in the Beyond the Border project in the Polish city of Gdansk, located in the northern part of the country, in the fall of 2005. Sponsored by the Gdansk Culture Center Klub ZAK, an energetic promoter of cultural activities, this project commenced in February 2005 and has seen periodic iterations since then. Its purpose is not only to offer the people of Gdansk opportunities to encounter a range of artists, but also to foster the next-generation of culture and the arts in Poland and its human resources through works possessed of authentic contemporary reality and to generate new mutual correspondence among the participant artists. The programs thus consist both in cultural exchange and in opportunities to explore the many possibilities dormant in cultural diversity and artistic possibilities that transcend barriers through venues for free discussion, the practice of corporeal thought and the performance of works of corporeal expression. Since in this project the invitations extended to artists are not for participation in the Butoh Festival, through which Klub ZAK has previously energetically presented that art form of Japanese origin, but to Beyond the Border, we expect that it will lead to the future development of the activities of Japanese contemporary dance artists, in addition to proving an important experience in their own activities. |

|
| In 1991, Hiroyo KITAO(Japan) started solo dance performances and workshop activities in Osaka. In 1996, she organized a contemporary dance unit Esqui:nouver. Their goal is found in the inducement of mental pictures, resulting from one's awareness of spatial and physical transfigurations. In her performances being composed of physical and spatial expressions, Kitao incorporates not only her contemplation on the theme which she brings up to the level of abstraction, but also her confrontation with the truth hidden in the physical perception. While pursuing the themes of her works deeply and, moreover, essentially, Kitao confronts the truths underlying physical perception and seek to imbue her performances with "corporal thinking" through her physical expression and spatial presentation. Kitao has been actively involved in the solo as well as unit activities in a variety of venues. She opens her workshops in Japan and France. | |
