Production - Battlefield [Ages 18-25]
Canberra Youth Theatre and Little Dove Theatre Art presents:
BATTLEFIELD
Battlefield is a Butoh inspired 20 minute Live Art work that explores the cross generational desire to reach for perfection through conformity.
Using Butoh and 80’s dance, Chenoeh Miller will direct CYT performers aged 18-25 in the all encompassing sensory experience of Battlefield. Chenoeh is well known for creating work which fuses the two performance styles of Butoh and Live Art: Butoh originated in Japan in the late 1950s, Live Art was a term coined in the 1980’s in the United Kingdom.
Participants must be prepared to work to the extreme of their physical and mental capabilities, as you will be exploring your performance limits and embody your unique emotions. It's confronting. It's exhausting. It's exhilarating.
Participants must be available for every rehearsal and performance.
The first workshop is the audition for the production.
Please wear loose comfortable clothing you can move in.
