In Cammino verso di Mare - Butoh Group di Vangeline & WADE Young Ensemble Martedí 11 Luglio (2023)
Choreographed by Butoh Artist Vangeline, a public intervention Butoh performance

‘Objects Invite me to…’  Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance - [July 2019]

‘Objects Invite Me To...’ Choreographed by Yuka Negoro sets out to discover unknown movements, forms and methods of working by surrendering to objects. Through an interest in somatic approaches, the focus of the research moved on to altering perception of objects and of the body through attention, passivity and sensitivity.

This research project challenges anthropocentric assumptions about familiar objects such as: “everything is the object to control and use and we are the subject with a desire to satisfy.” (Dreyfus, 1987) This work endeavours to disrupt this hierarchy and reveal the expressivity of banal objects.’

Who is my soul?

Who is my soul? Who would I like it to be? What is the likely reality?

If my soul has a foot then how would he walk? And through what world? To where?

When have my soul and I met? What was happening? How was the encounter? What did we make of each other?

I’d like to sit down to tea with my soul, I think. The thought is fleeting, it believes itself to have a deeper intention than the magnitude of commitment. It’d be very rude, when sharing tea with an old friend, to be hopping and running and lolling about - distracted.

It’d be good if our tea having never ended. Well, perhaps until ‘I’ die. What are the things to do to keep a tea party going? And how to shape the going as a good going; full of love?

Would we love each other? How do we get there?

Practicing Frank in aphorisms:

  • Practicing Frank is a squirmy, smiley, adventurous artist

  • They practice work that celebrates that they made it, it's soft, it's ugly and pretty at the same time, sometimes they can treat it bad or forget about it and then it's OK to love it again later

  • Practicing Frank stands against desire and craving. They make her really cross, they create the condition for continued suffering and are unsatisfactory.

  • The work looks like dirt and vaginal secretions and unshaven bottom of ankles and unresponded to emails
