Weekend Intensive Workshop 24(Sat) 25(Sun) April 2021 @ Abbotsford Convent

Yumi Umiumare and Pauline Sherlock. Collage elements by Jacqui Stockdale, graphic design by Monica Benova, photo by Mathew Lynn.

This is a unique weekend workshop for participants to dive into an interdisciplinary collaboration between Butoh, voice, and visual art. We will be led by a trio of oddball experts: Yumi Umiumare (Butoh), Emma Bathgate (voice) and Jacqui Stockdale (visual arts/mask/collage).

Participants will be guided upon a search for something indescribable yet internally provocative; tantalising and thrilling. Together we will facilitate a dive into the unexpected wonders of a world in which anything is possible.

“Something odd,

Something not fitting in 

Something not matching 

Something bent and broken

Something abandoned 

yet something perfect for you at this moment”

All levels of experience are welcome to share the space, energy and interaction of our New Ab/Normal.
