Sculpture by Dani Karavan of the Negev monument picture by Yael Karavan
Dear friends / Queridos Amigos
(mais informação em Portuguese em baixo)
In this moment in time I am in a place where Covid is only a memory
Were the vaccine has had a huge success and life has come back to near normal (socially but definitely NOT politically!)
Soon I will travel to where my home is, where a two and a half months of strict lockdown is coming to and end and where just like little spring shoots people are slowly coming out of their nests or egg shells into the outside world.
The sun is Back! Huraa!
But 'Normal' life and Health seems to be far from back in many parts of the world :(
I send my warmest thoughts to my Brazilian friends where more than 4000 people died in one day!!!
I send my warm thoughts to India where 100,000 new cases were registered in one day!
I send my warmest thoughts to you my friends wherever you are as I miss you dearly and I hope all of this will soon become a distant memory
because then, ho then
we will all have a HUGE job to do,
A GREAT effort to take care of our one and only PLANET EARTH
and our and other species' well-being on it!
GOOD LUCK TO US!
xxYael

Oficina de Butoh em Lisboa
Sábado 24 de Abril 11h-17h e Domingo 25 de Abril 10h-14h
no palacio Pancas Palhas
'Constantemente renascemos. Não será suficiente simplesmente sair do útero materno. Precisamos de muitos nascimentos. Renascer sempre e em todos os lugares constantemente. T.Hijikata (fundador do Butoh)
Butoh é uma dança de vanguarda, uma filosofia e um método que foi criado no Japão, no final dos anos 50, por Tatsumi Hijikata e Kazuo Ohno. Não se trata de uma técnica, mas de um método e uma abordagem da dança que nasce dentro de nós e nos conecta a nossa essência, natureza, universo e aos ciclos da vida e da morte. Karavan tem mais de 20 anos de experiência, durante os quais teve a oportunidade de trabalhar com os fundadores do Butoh no Japão: Kazuo Ohno e Motofuji San - esposa de Tatsumi Hijikata - bem como com Tadashi Endo, Yumiko Yoshioka, Sankai Juku, Atsushi Takenuchi, Minako Seki, Akira Kasai entre outros. Os principais elementos que serão trabalhados na oficina são: metamorfose, presença, contraste, expa dança através de imagens (Buoth- Fu) e tensão entre opostos. O objetivo é libertar o corpo “domesticado” do conjunto de gestos e movimentos preconcebidos permitindo o acesso à profunda e autêntica essência do movimento. Questionando a importância do Butoh hoje e como incorpora-lo em um corpo ocidental.
As vagas são limitadas.
Valor: 60€ até dia 17 de Abril / 65€ depois.

A new Documentary film about
Dani Karavan
It is not always easy to be born to a famous artists. For years I had to prove to myself that my art is thanks to myself and not because I am the daughter of! But with time I definitely understood that it was thanks to this great man that I have had such an inspiring life so far!
My father is an incredible artist and a fighter for peace and human rights around the world. His work is political and uncompromising always in relation to nature and the human scale, fighting for justice.
I have learnt so much thanks to him and most importantly he taught me that beyond art what's most important is to be a good, honest, generous human being!
When I was a child he would encourage me to play on his environmental sculptures and later I created performances on his breathtaking works in Japan, Germany and Spain.
The latest movie about him is now in cinemas in Tel Aviv and is soon traveling the world to Canada - Link HERE , Spain and beyond.
Will keep you updated but in the meantime have a look at his work if you have a moment to spare Dani Karavan
Directed by Barak Heymann.

Photo by Josefa Searle taken from the show MA-MA
I have already announced the relaunch of the Total Theatre Magazine website
And I would like to deeply recommend it to you all! especially people with interest in the performing arts. When I moved to the UK in 1996 I studied at Ecole Phillipe Gaulier and used to wait with anticipation every 3 months for the Magazine to come out in a book shop around the corner from the school in Camden. Last Autumn I participated in the Total Theatre Artists as Writers 2020 programme, It was such a rewarding experience and I am so proud to share my 1st published article here entitled - Can Art Save our Planet?
Please like and share and all that sort of stuff, to help us spread the word @TotalTheatreMag
You can also find other article from the Artists as Writers course they are all extremely worth wile on the site....
