York, NY -- CAVE is pleased to announce the continuation of its 2011 training program and performance season. LUDUS (school + play) is the educational program of CAVE and its project LEIMAY. The core of the program is the New York Butoh Kan (NYBK) Teaching Residency + Training Initiative. Every year, influential butoh artists living abroad are invited to lead workshops as resident teachers at CAVE. This year’s residents are Akira Kasai Hisako Horikawa, Yukio Waguri, and visiting artists are Masaki Iwana and Moeno Wakamatsu. All residents will lead both introductory and intensive sessions, open to dancers, actors and performers. NYBK-related activities include the Piercing Butoh Weekly Classes held by Daiji Meguro and Ximena Garnica, and interviews with our resident teachers. Resident teachers will also be performing as a part of CAVE's At Home: Performance Series. This series showcases established butoh artists, those widely recognized figures in the contemporary dissemination of butoh styles and techniques. At Home is also organized in order to support the work of CAVE residents and local artists and as a supplement to CAVE's educational activities.
Each artist will teach a three day introductory session within the months of September through November. Some artists will also teach a longer Intensive Session.
All activities will occur at CAVE, on Grand St in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
