Dancing with Violence is a participatory audio dance performance, inspired by the somatic memories and transformation of violence of Anonymous One… a psychosomatic experience… a meditation… a fictional memoir set in landscapes of perspectives… an immersive performance in the dark with heightened auditory senses and movement of the audience...

with inspirations from Anonymous One //
Artistic Direction, Dance Research, and Words by Min Yoon tr. “Citizen Truth” //
Music, Composition and Sonic Landscapes by Wieland Möller //
Words and Production by Rodrigo Zorzanelli // Movement Research by Nicola Bullock // Dramaturgical Advice: Jan Maihorn (sound / theater), Jessica Gaynor (dance / choreography), Tom Foskett-Barnes (sound / theater)

you are invited to dance with the personal and trans-personal exploration of violence. in darkness, the participants will be invited to dance with the memories, sensations, and imaginations of One dancer’s experience of violence, inspired by butoh-fu, movement instructions using imaginative and poetic language and evocative sounds...

Min Yoon · dancing with violence (Preview / a participatory audio dance performance)
... to evolve the perpetrator and victim archetypes ... to express and transform impulses in all of us… dancing with the different tendencies may they be called anger, fear, angst, justice, collisions, some existential joke or symphony…

we hope that this piece will contribute toward more spaces for more people to experience the multitude of perspectives toward healing and reconciliation or possibly a deeper understanding beyond words without resolve. & In a moment of coming out of isolation and possibly more attuned to our inner feelings, we hope that audio can bring together the inner, outer, and collective experiences in moving together…

in moments of continuing to search for answers to the atrocities happening all around us…

. . .

This project started with the question of sharing somatic memories and dance scores beyond the body of one dancer in performance, to the audience through experiencing the memories through movement. With one Anonymous dancer, I researched where and how memories and stories of violence is stored in the body. Then with another writer and musician, we translated this dance research into an auditory and participatory dance piece that is offered online currently. The experience was also shared live to dancers and unprofessional movers in the audience.

. . .
Thank you to the Anonymous One who was open to sharing their story for the possible openings in others. They were identified in an open call workshop exploring the victim and perpetrator archetypes.

Thanks to Brukmuk and Michiel Renger for generously allowing us to use their driving Technobeats in the soundscape. We would also like to thank the European Academy of the Healing Arts, Klein Jasedow for sound inspirations, as well as Hošek Contemporary Gallery, Theaterhaus Mitte, and Laborgras Studios for support throughout the research and premiere. The piece also has many inspirations and connections to Anna and Daria Halprin’s Life/Art Process, Process Work, butoh dance, and Laurie Anderson.

Richard Pettifer with Berlin’s Tanzschreiber also joined us and provoked more questions in his review:

Joker’s Remorse, Butoh Ritual Performance

March 17 & 18, 2022 | Headwaters Theater | Portland, Oregon
dance by Min Yoon tr. "Citizen Truth" // music by Wieland Möller // lighting by Dug Martell // filming by Anda Arroway

Joker’s Remorse distorts and plays with the defeated, uprising, power, righteousness, exhaustion, chaos, and remorse. The body dances to edges and extremes to see what emerges.

This Joker dances for collective failures, remorse, grief, rage, and new turns, with the uncontrollable, allowing the inner tremors of anguish to rise and fall.

The Joker questions performing oppressive patterns as a rebellion, in this post-butoh attempt to queer emotionality.


This butoh dance choreography was developed as part of the two-week Movement Residency with Trauma Bar und Kino in Berlin, Germany. Its premiere is at the Headwaters Theater in Portland, Oregon.  Thank you to the Headwaters Theater and Water in the Desert for making this performance as well as the butoh community unimaginably possible.

PERFORMANCE OF IMPROVISATIONS IN MOVEMENT & SOUND

Performed at Hellerau July 2020
Rosalind and Wieland have been working together since 2010 and meet regularly for joint improvisational performances in Berlin spaces such as the Mime Centrum, Urbanraum and in the venues of MusikTanzNull30. This is the first time the duo has performed together since Rosalind’s move to Saxony in 2016. Parkour offers them the opportunity to share their practice in movement and sound with an audience and to bring together the overlapping approaches in their approach to improvisation. These include the perception and inclusion of non-human material like trees and cymbals.

IMPROPERFORM

Performance in Group Global 3000, Berlin, Exhibition "Meat", 10.4.15 Under the title „Humanimalintuition“, Wieland Möller and Konrad Szymanski are investigating in the relationship of humans and animals. They believe that humans and animals are dependent from each other in equal ways and do not show that much differences that humans would deserve the right to place themselves above animals. In their performance they are researching the idea of energetic exchange between humans and animals. For them Intuition is the common ground and key for understanding. „IMPROPERFORM“ A project by Konrad Szymanski dance/movement/sound) and Wieland Moeller (music/movement/sound) Based on the questions of the various relationships of dance and music and what is improvisation and instant composition, Konrad and Wieland are trying to research their conscious for the present moment, the relationship of each other and the arts as well as for the space. This research is reflected in their performances, which are honest towards each other and towards the present moment and the space. Therefore the duo is inviting themselves as well as the audience to a journey of unknown destination.
