Drawing on their diverse work in butoh, gymnastics, yoga, suzuki, martial arts, and traditional Japanese dance, members of The Ume Group Ensemble will lead participants through rigorous physical exercise integrated with a playful storytelling practice. In this workshop, participants will learn some of the basic vocabulary from the physical disciplines The Ume Group uses to create their work. Members of the ensemble will then guide participants through a process of creating their very own adapatation of classical stories using dramatic and stageworthy physical life.
