Butoh, 舞踏, conceived in Japan during the late 50’s and early 60’s during the social turmoil after the war, sought to find an expression through dance. Rather than aspiring to an aesthetic ideal, the dance attempts to expose the joys and sorrows of life, exploring the most fundamental elements of physical and psychological existence. It goes beyond the confines of specific cultures and aims for universal expression that touches the soul of humanity. It also crosses the boundaries between dance and theatre, creating a unique form of expression that engages, moves and intrigues. Butoh (ref. Wikipedia)
No previous dance or music experience is required to participate in these workshops.
From children to adults, participants will have the opportunity to explore their bodies through guided detailed Butoh imagery that encourages freedom in movement and expression. The later part of the workshop will include exploring the no-input mixer which uses feedback as a source for creating sound. The participants of the workshop will have the opportunity to explore both aspects of the butoh and music practice.
Butoh, 舞 踏, yn ddawns a fu yn tyfu mewn poblogrwydd yn Japan yn ystod diwedd y 50au a dechrau’r 60au ar ôl y rhyfel. Defnyddiwyd y ddawns i ddod o hyd i fynegiant trwy ddawns. Yn hytrach nag anelu at ddelfryd esthetig, mae'r ddawns yn ceisio datgelu llawenydd a gofidiau bywyd, gan archwilio elfennau mwyaf sylfaenol bodolaeth gorfforol a seicolegol. Mae'n mynd y tu hwnt i gyfyngiadau diwylliannau penodol ac yn anelu at fynegiant cyffredinol sy'n cyffwrdd ag enaid dynoliaeth. Mae hefyd yn croesi'r ffiniau rhwng dawns a theatr, gan greu ffurf unigryw o fynegiant sy'n ennyn diddordeb, yn symud ac yn chwilfrydedd. Butoh (cyf. Wikipedia)
Nid oes angen unrhyw brofiad blaenorol o ddawns na cherddoriaeth i gymryd rhan yn y gweithdai hyn.
O blant i oedolion, bydd cyfranogwyr yn cael cyfle i archwilio eu cyrff trwy ddelweddau Butoh manwl dan arweiniad sy'n annog rhyddid i symud a mynegiant. Bydd rhan ddiweddarach y gweithdy yn cynnwys archwilio'r cymysgydd dim mewnbwn sy'n defnyddio adborth fel ffynhonnell ar gyfer creu sain. Bydd cyfranogwyr y gweithdy yn cael cyfle i archwilio dwy agwedd ar yr ymarfer butoh a cherddoriaeth.
These workshops are delivered as part of the project "From the Dust of This Wretched Earth" funded by the Arts Council of Wales and the Japan Foundation.
