UNFIX-Festival
The Goethe-Institut is delighted to support the performance and workshop of Minako Seki at the UNFIX festival this year. The UNFIX festival is an evolving festival of dance, music, film and discussion as well as ecological performance, which will take place between 29th and 31 March 2019.
Born in Japan, Minako Seki lives and works in Berlin since 1986. She is a dancer, choreographer and teacher, founder of “Minako Seki Company”. Her artistic approach cannot be separated from her personal philosophy of living, which in a wholistic way combines vipassana meditation, macrobiotic cooking and Japanese traditional healing techniques. Minako is always interested in interdisciplinary projects; she choreographed the opera “The Final Solution” by Peter Michael Hamel and collaborated several times in productions for performance groups like “Showcase Beat le Mot” and “She She Pop”. Her body technique and teaching methods are connected in the „Seki Method“ which were teached in numerous workshops and master classes worldwide.
Minakos events at the UNFIX festival will take place on the following days:
Performance: Human Form
Sat 30 March, 9 pm, CCA Theatre
Minako Seki blurs the boundaries between human and artificial bodies. Exploring the liminal space between physicality and artificiality, the japanese butoh master draws inspiration from puppets and robots, borrowing elements from Japanese gardens as well as animation art and architecture.
Movement Workshop
Sun 31 March, 12 pm, CCA Clubroom
"The Minako Seki Method" departs from imagination and the endless possibilities of it. Through imagination, we can connect consciousness with unconsciousness, as well as micro-cosmos with macro-cosmos. Imagination is our creative impulse and our motor for artistic expression. During the workshop the power of imagination will be used as main source, to evoke our senses and create natural quality in the physical principles of movement.
Tickets can be booked via the Unfix website.
