A replay of a 30-min solo improvisation performed by Yuko Kaseki followed by a discussion with the artist.
This solo is created exclusively for the New York Butoh Institute Festival 2020 (online version).
Yuko Kaseki is Butoh dancer, performer, improviser, choreographer and teacher, based in Berlin. She studied with butoh dancer Anzu Furukawa at Performing Arts Art University Braunschweig. She moved to Berlin in 1995 and founded the company Cokaseki. Her works incorporate the spirit of butoh and borrow from Performance Art using objects, texts, and soundscapes. Her strong interest in breaking the border of physical existence leads to projects with mixed ability artists and performers.
This program is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.
