Tadashi Endo (Japan)
Choreographer & Dancer: Tadashi Endo
TADASHI ENDO, born 1947 in Peking, China, Nationality: Japanese is Butoh-dancer, choreographer, director of the Butoh-Centre MAMU and artistic director of the Butoh-Festivals MAMU Butoh & Jazz in Göttingen embodies in the truest sense of that word the wisdom of both, the Western and Oriental dance and theatre traditions. After his study as a theatre director at the famous Max-Reinhardt-Seminar in Vienna, he performed in collaboration with jazz musicians. In 1989 he met Kazuo Ohno who already then realized a deep relationship between Endo’s dance and the Butohdance. Since then Tadashi Endo developped his movements to that ethetic and expressive dance, as you can see today. His dance is like a synthesis of theatre,performance and dance, Tadashi Endo succeeds to express the field of tension between ying and yang, male and female and their everlasting alteration. He is the master of being “in between”, that is Butoh – MA.
Tadashi Endo will teach a Master Workshop focusing on his methodologies. The workshop will lead to a final performance.

Title: SHINKAI NO TAMASHII
Composer and sound: DANIEL MAIA , Brasil
Refugees – these people fled of war, desperate situation and hunger. They entered the boats full of hope to survive, help and a safe
life, This hope sank into the sea. They lost everything and finally also their lives. Their bodies are lying on the ground of the sea, but their souls move on.What would they tell us, if they could rise again out of the sea??
