Dear friends / Queridos Amigos

(mais informação em Portuguese em baixo)

Time goes by and it's already February,
Wherever you are in the world I wonder if you feel the climate changing?
Here there is hardly any winter...
no rain
...
a winter draught
...
while in Brazil floods are overwhelming the country
...
The climate is definitely changing
all around us
and it has been happening for a while.

On a personal level, it's hard to complain when the sun shines every day
but in a global sense, it seems like we have to be fast 
and find ways in which we can each reduce our carbon footprint.
It ain't so hard but not so easy either as we are creatures of habits...:/
 So what to do?

These times require our attention, investigation, and awareness.
Remembering that less is actually more
(Less consumption= more time on this planet..?)
Understanding our consumer choices and power 
and helping each other to reach 
collective awareness and look for more sustainable ways
to help us change habits.

Good luck to us all
cause it looks like the planet can't wait for us forever...

We need to Act!

Ok, so what's on this month?
Butoh, Butoh, Butoh...
in Brighton, Lisbon, Aljezur, and Sintra
+
An Eco-performance online symposium through terra LUME
++ 

Hope to see you soon
with health and care

Estarei convidada no 

Ecoperformance Symposium Online

Dia 18/02/2022 14h-18h horario do Brazil
= 17h-21h Portugal/UK

 

Fas parte da Programação Geral do
XI Simpósio Reflexões Cênicas Contemporâneas do LUME TEATRO


de 15 a 18 de Fevereiro de 2022 Evento on-line.

O conceito de ecoperformance foi cunhado pela coreógrafa brasileira Maura Baiocchi como parte da inauguração de um novo ciclo de trabalhos da Taanteatro Companhia. Segundo palavras da Taanteatro a Ecoperformance entende o ambiente e o corpo como dimensões inseparáveis da criação performativa. Em uma ecoperformance, o ambiente constitui um jogo vivo e interativo de presenças e forças onde o artista não é o agente central, mas um dos componentes da performance. A mesa debaterá esse conceito e suas práticas além de suas ações de impacto político, tão necessário em nosso tempo.

Convidades: Maura Baiocchi (Taanteatro/SP); Anna Dantes (Cíclo Selvagem/RJ) e Yael Karavan (Karavan Ensemble, PT/UK/IS)

Mediação: Naomi Silman (LUME)

2 beautiful exhibitions of my late father are currently being open until the summer

The Japan of Dani Karavan

At the Tikoting Japanese Art Museum in Haifa, Israel

(in which some videos of my performances on his environmental sculptures across Japan are also displayed)  

and

Dani Karavan on an intimate scale

At the Israel Museum of Art in Jerusalem.

With some of his early drawings and paintings with his more recent earth sculptures.
  

   


If you have the chance GO! 


It is so inspiring to see his diversity and his continuously transforming way of creating from drawings to site-specific projects, set design for dance and theatre, murals, walls, environments, monuments, installations...
Miss you sooooo!

Wish you were here <3

 


 
                                                    


Empathic Action / Art for the planet

We have recently launched our new website and are still open for your contributions/ work submissions.

Created in collaboration with Vincent Ordonenz

PRESS HERE TO SEE IT WITH YOUR OWN EYES!

Dear friends of the world, in the face of the current state of our world we feel the need to break the silence and take action for our planet. Waiting for authorities to take act upon these urgent matters is a waste of time and we need to unite in the face of this crises in order to imagine a better future. Protecting our environment and ourselves is of most importance and must be done now before it’s too late. As part of this wondrous nature we must have more empathy and collaborate. We invite you to join our Empathic Action towards our one and only Home- Planet Earth, by adding in your Art and Heart. Please email us to if you'd like to be part of our project and add your work to it.
