Overview
Video documentation of eX...it! in 2019. The event had 8 instructors and 67 participants, who were divided into four groups for the first week-long workshop. For the second week, participants chose one of five teams with which to work. For the final two days, the participants were invited to give presentations to the general public.
About the festival:
At the beginning there was one question: Butoh - what is that?
Yoshioka Yumiko and delta RA'i have constantly been asking this question since co-founding tatoeba-THÉÂTRE DANSE GROTESQUE, the first German-Japanese Butoh company, in 1987.
This led to the idea of a European Butoh meeting, which was held first in 1995.
It was called eX...it!, and as a result of the huge popularity among choreographers, participants, audience and media, a regular festival has emerged, which has since been a highlight at Schloss Broellin every 4 years.
What was formerly a pure Butoh dance festival has today become an eXchange project for Butoh and contemporary dance. Nevertheless, the festival is still firmly anchored in Butoh, the Japanese expression dance.
Our eXchange dance festival is specifically designed for professionally oriented dancers of all disciplines who wish to work intensively with Butoh dance.
We try strictly to distinguish from therapeutic Butoh styles.
