Butoh with Marie-Gabrielle Rotie
11 am – 5 pm
Cost: FREE
Location: Roof Studio @ Siobhan Davies Studios, 85 St George's Road, London, SE1 6ER
Marie-Gabrielle Rotie’s class draws upon her background in Fine Art and Butoh. She will explore how to ‘sculpt’ and move the body as if it were clay, sensitizing movers to touch and to the body in relation to self, partner work and to time and space. Movers will then be encouraged to work with poetic images and scores, to access moving from imagination and inner impulse, encouraging an attentive listening process and ‘painting’ the space with improvised movement. She is interested in the use of distillation, simplicity and silence in movement. No previous movement experience is necessary.
Marie-Gabrielle Rotie originally trained in Fine Art has 16 years of specialist training in Butoh, studying and performing with the worlds leading exponents in Europe and Japan. Her productions have shown at Royal Opera House, Royal National Theatre, Laban and The Place Theatre as well as in numerous venues and festivals internationally and she was a semi-finalist for The Place Prize 2004. Recent work includes five choreographies for London College of Fashion at Victoria and Albert Museum, Royal Academy and Sadler’s Wells, plus six commissions from Laban. She is director of Butoh Uk organising workshops and festivals.
