A torrent of AcTS and Training
May 21-June 29, 2014

SOAK is a festival presenting a torrent of acts and workshops in theater, butoh, dance, and performance art every spring over four weeks in May and June. SOAK is molded by LEIMAY, the interdisciplinary ensemble and producing organization behind the acclaimed New York Butoh Festival. SOAK takes place at LEIMAY’s home, CAVE, in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

SOAK broadens the perceptions of our artists and audiences with work that is experimental, rigorous, and thought-provoking. The festival showcases finished and in-progress work by international, local and resident artists and blends them together in a concoction that inspires audiences, fuels the artists, and stimulates the community surrounding LEIMAY’s activities.

LEIMAY Ludus Training sessions happening during SOAK feature a three part LEIMAY Ludus Lab with butoh master Ko Murobushi, a LEIMAY Ludus Summer Intensive with Artistic Director Ximena Garnica, and seven LEIMAY Ludus Labs in theater, dance, butoh and dramaturgy with guest teachers and masters Polina Klimovitskaya, Elke Luyten, Kota Yamazaki, Moeno Wakamatsu, Rebecca Brooks, and Susan Mar Landau, and Mario Biagini.

SOAK performances include work by legendary butoh master Ko Murobushi, butoh dancers Moeno Wakamatsu, Kota Yamazaki, and Mina Nishimura, guest local artists Elke Luyten & Kira Alker, Massimiliano Balduzzi, Masanori Asahara, Racoco Productions, and Michael Bodel, Angeli, and Andrea Jones, and new and in progress work by artists and members of LEIMAY’s Black Studio Share program: Rebecca Brooks, Carlye Eckert, Jeremy Goren, Sophia Treanor, Anabella Lenzu, Kika Espejo, Julia Crockett, and Terra Incognita.

LEIMAY Ludus Lab with dramaturg Susan Mar Landau


Dates:
Mon Jun 09, 2014 18:30 - Tue Jun 10, 2014

Location:
Brooklyn, New York
United States of America

who asks what when and why?
The creation of a performance work demands different kinds of dramaturgical questions for the artist to consider: What are these questions? Who asks them? When and why?

Together we will explore what form and import these questions might take, as we draw reference from Roland Barthesʼ essay “The Death of the Author”, as well as from an in depth conversation with SOAK artist Julia Crockett about her own artistic process in creating her piece “KID”. Along with our collective discussions, each participant will have the opportunity and support to investigate and identify questions that could serve their own creative process.

Dates: June 9th and 10th // 6:30pm – 9:30pm
Price: FREE
Attendance of Julia Crockett’s piece, KID, is required for attendance of this workshop.
KID will take place on June 6th and June 7th. Tickets will become available early April.
Pre-registration is required
Members’ discounts and other discounts valid for online payment only

LEIMAY Ludus Lab with performer Elke Luyten


Dates:
Sun Jun 08, 2014 13:30 - Sun Jun 08, 2014

Location:
Brooklyn, New York
United States of America

Using a set of warm-up exercises we will rediscover the alignment of the body and activate the area around the sacrum. We will stimulate an inner flow of energy that enables the execution of all subsequent movement. Through choreographed structures we will place an external geometry inside the performer’s body and explore a deep investigation in presence and intentionality. Through improvisation we will strip away the need to show, to present and to perform so that the body can exist not only formally but energetically.

Date: June 8th // 1:30pm-4:30pm
Price: $36
Pre-registration is required
Members’ discounts and other discounts valid for online payment only
