CARGOTOPIA 2008_Final Presentation of Workshop Body Resonance - based on Butoh and Organic Movement by Yumiko Yoshioka

The Body is a receptacle of time. Through an exploration down to a groundless stage of collective memories in our past, we can strike a vein of abundant resources, which can enrich the essence of our life. I want to activate these forgotten memories by concentrating on our inner core, our Ki (vital) energy and it's circulation. Body Resonance is a key to open up ever changing world inside and outside of us.

One step to metamorphose

Let's enjoy chaos!

Yumiko Yoshioka was born in Tokyo, living in Germany since 1988

She founded an art-formation group "TEN PEN CHii art labor" in 1995 with a visual artist, Joachim Manger from Germany and a musician, Zam Johnson from USA. It's a resident group at Schloss Broellin (Castle of Broellin), International Theater Research Location, which lies in the utmost northeastern part of the ex East Germany.

She has been in research of interactivity between dance and installation with her partner. They created a number of works, such as "N. YOiN", "DA-PPi", "i-ki",or "Test Labor", each of which won the highest praise in experimental art scenes. Besides international tours throughout Europe and North America, she is an art director of the Butoh Related Art Project "Ex...it!" with Delta Ra'i, held at Schloss Broellin every 4 years since 1995.

On top of numberless workshops in the world, her experience in choreography and art-direction in workshop performance with different levels of participants deserves full acclaim.

CARGOTOPIA 2008-09_To do it without

In May 2008 “Cargotopia” Year 1 started in the form of a socio-cultural sea gathering exchange on the vintage sailing cargo ship “Estelle” in the north of Europe-Finland. On board were youngsters, artists, seafarers and youth-social workers. Sea life, art, culture, experience and information were transported.

In October 2008 In Portugal, the project will call in at the port of Gaia (Porto), offering “Cargotopia” as a socio-cultural platform for workshops, festival and other local initiatives.
Our aim this year is to keep on the research we’ve been making about themes like fair trade, social art, navigation and self-sustainability.

We organized a tree days festival on 17, 18 and 19 October 2008 in the city of Gaia-Porto on the north of Portugal, were youngsters, citizens, artists, pedagogues, social and political activists, will gather their creativity, ideas and statements on a social multicultural exchange.
We also aimed to welcome new partners to get active on Cargotopia platform.

The participation of Portuguese young people was possible through the collaboration of a number of social institutions.
Through this project the young people were supported in their efforts to re-integrate into society after time spent in difficult situations. As shown through a great number of previous sailing and art projects of this kind, the experience of sharing responsibility in the community of the will provide the young people with a hugely important educational opportunity.
