dancing-being-in-time
post/butoh dance + vocals solo by Min Yoon
Within fragmented, looped, and stretched scores of post/butoh dance and voice, the body opens itself as an inner archive, evolving pain patterns across past, present, and fantasy... The body processes private|public and lived|to be lived - emotions, media, memories, and atrocities...
“Not for the attention-seeking economy”, a slow evolution over the span of years is compressed into this single hour. It enters the body as a living archive of pain: What impulses have been inherited, imposed, or reclaimed? How is pain danced in the same body across time?
This dance research and performance is supported by Butoh Curious Chicago, Tanzmit Festival, DIS-TANZ SOLO Funding - Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and Media in the NEUSTART KULTUR program, DIS-TANZEN program of the Dachverband Tanz Deutschland, Germany.
With butoh dance and conflict studies, Min makes intimate, surreal, and psychosomatic dance performances and experimental moments to create moments of heightened relational emotions, permission for depths, and the emergent new. Min explores difficult truths beyond language through researching and dancing with a multiplicity of perspectives, unintentional movements within stillness and impulsive improvisation, and archetypes with the intention of a turning and new senses of beauty. Their dance collages intense imagery and physicality, stillness, and ritual. Min creates, performs, and holds experimental spaces for being internationally.
