Casino Luxembourg – Forum d’art contemporain, in collaboration with TROIS C-L, invites you to a Masterclass with artist Ayako Kato.
Humans are mortal, yet we exist as a part of eternity and its cycle. If so, how shall we move, dance, and express ourselves as performers, dancers, choreographers, improvisers, humans, or just beings? With flow and gravity and awareness of the intangible and invisible, Ayako will share her worldview to be empty (letting go) and complete, inside out and outside in.
Please bring your inquiries as humans and artists to acknowledge, layer, and activate elements in your worldview. Step by step with care, the workshop will go through some guided somatic and improvisational exercises, listening, reading, writing, drawing, dialogue, creation, and dancing to clarify your worldview and the depth of your intricate and complex inquiries. Your inquiry topics may include anatomy, philosophy, science, biology, physics, history, cultures, poems, socio-political matters, and interdisciplinary and intersectional matters. At the end, participants will share their short pieces to exchange further dialogue and share reflections as peoples exploring art.
This workshop is recommended if you are especially interested in cultivating new perspectives through an Eastern philosophical point of view, elevating interdisciplinary collaboration with composers, music improvisers, filmmakers, and artists of other disciplines, and more intricate topics on deepening creative process through composition & improvisation, and reciprocal relationships between movement & sound/music.
