Program Details

 

eX...it!´15 is produced by the non profit association of schloss broellin e.V. and will take place from 03rd - 16th August 2015 at: Schloss Bröllin Bröllin 3 D - 17309 Bröllin/Germany www.broellin.de

Our eXchange dance festival is specifically designed for professionally oriented dancers of all disciplines who wish to work intensively with Butoh dance.

We may also allow some passionate amateur dancers to join, but we try strictly to distinguish from therapeutic Butoh styles.
Therefore we ask for a letter of application with a CV on dance, as well as we have only about 60 exclusive places for participation.

We cordially invite you to participate.


The whole festival is divided into interlocking pieces:

The Work Phase  -  August  4 - 9

Here you get the chance to be instructed by our invited 8 choreographers in various styles of Butoh.

From 4th untill 9th of Aug. participants will be split into groups and two instructional sessions (3 hrs.) will be held for each group every day. The workshop camp is arranged so that every participant will get the chance to complete one instruction unit with each of the eight choreographers.





Workshop Schedule (this schedule is subject to change without notice)





On 9th of August the choreographers present their concept for a choreography for the final performance. After that the participants choose one choreographer or a choreographer-couple with whom he/she would like further to work and rehearse with from 10th until 15th of August for the final presentation.


ATTENTION: If too many participants will choose a particular choreographer or a choreographer-couple, you will be asked to make a second choice. Otherwise the artistic directors will have to decide on the groups' structure. There is no guarantee for working with a specified choreographer.
