Rising Of The Unchained Silent Screams
A 30-min solo created and performed exclusively by Tebby W.T. RAMASIKE followed by a live discussion with the artist.
Concept, Choreography & Performance:
Tebby W.T. RAMASIKE
“In a state of isolation and emptiness, I listen to cries of a soul that seeks awakening in the depths of the impossibility of silence. The spirit rises in a cry for the soul that shall inherit this earth…for the spirit knows not where darkness is enlightening! It is, but, cries of deliverance from the depth of confined darkness.”
Music: ‘Beyond’ - ‘Pulse’ – ‘Return Featuring Yoann Francois’
With kind permission of Hiroko Komiya & Atsushi Takenouchi, from their album, ‘PENDULUM
SEA’

This solo is created exclusively for the New York Butoh Institute Festival 2020 (online version).
Tebby W.T. Ramasike, a South African choreographer, dancer, teacher/educator, researcher in dance, Butoh practitioner, and cultural activist, arrived in Europe in 1995 after working with different theatre and dance companies in South Africa and abroad. In 1999, he founded TeBogO Dance Ensemble (TBO), renamed TeBogO Dance – TBO, which since its inauguration has been invited to perform and teach in Europe and abroad. A holder of an MA degree in Choreography from the Dance Unlimited Program in Arnhem, Netherlands, he was the first recipient of the international choreography bursary from the Michel Tesson Performing Arts Trust and subsequently the Creative Arts Foundation. In 2002 he became a member of World Dance Alliance Europe and currently, he is a member of UNESCO's International Dance Council (CID). Co-authored an article on 'Reverie' for a chapter 'Collaboration' in the book, 'Inventing Futures'. Currently, he is working on an interactive multidisciplinary crossover collaborative project and continues research on his concept of Afro-Butoh.
This program is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.
