The 16th Asheville Butoh Festival Featuring Yumiko Yoshioka
Advertisement
The 16th Asheville Butoh Festival features Yumiko Yoshioka! Yumiko is an internationally renowned Butoh artist. In Asheville, she will teach two 4-hour workshops and perform her acclaimed solo, “100 Light Years of Solitude,” inspired by Gabriel Marquez’s novel. This work is the second part of a trilogy. Part one, “Before the Dawn,” was performed at the 2013 Asheville Butoh Festival. We are thrilled to host the sequel to Yumiko’s inimitable performance!
About Yumiko’s Workshops:
Body Resonance – based on Butoh and Organic Movement.
The main focus of this workshop is a conscious research of our body/mind/soul unification, so we can deeply enjoy the intrinsic process of metamorphosis in the spirit of dance. Everything is in resonance with each other. Through a dialogue with our body, we can learn to be moved by inner and outer forces, thus realizing we are a part of the Universe. A dance of metamorphosis inevitably appears.
