Artist talk following 'W!Oman MADe'

Inspired by the creative path of several female artists Yuko Kaseki dares to walk in their shoes into a virtual game of manMade systems. The dance opens perspectives of transgressing such systems and creating new-made worlds. The talk offers an insight on womanMADE processes and invites to new questions for future non-binary views.

W!Oman MADe is an ongoing research trying to make visible and bring justice to a variety of strong female artist who raised their voice against opression and power within the patriarch society. Simultaneously it is a hommage and celebration of their work and offers an opportunity for re-inventing our future. After the performance, the audience is invited to share their impressions, about the created images, and also to express their own perspectives on man- and womanMADE systems and engage in a collective dialogue about the possible future.

About the venue

Dock 11

The factory level of Dock 11 in Kastanienallee in Prenzlauer Berg is a rehearsals room, teaching studio and dance stage in one. The stage programme has interdisciplinary supplements such as theatre, performance, literature, music, visual art, film and club art – however the main focal point of every performance is on purely dance elements. Together with its other premises in EDEN***** in Berlin-Pankow, Dock 11 has established itself as an important part of the Berlin dance scene. The unique combination of teaching, rehearsal and stage generates an exciting change of perspectives in both the artists and pupils, as well as among the audience.  (source: visitberlin.de)

About the dance performance

W!Oman MADe

this is a man's world, But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing with/out...
in this man MADe world -
man made a car, a gun, a wall, a war,
and made money, to buy from other man,
vicious repetition of creating and destroying – a virtual game for adult boys.
How long will it be continued? Who is this man?
And what about the woman made world? How does it look like?
No one knows because woman had no chance to try,
or because man MADe it is his creation..

This dance performance is inspired from several female artists, who were staying truthful to their life, following the depth of inner wisdom. Through embodying the spirit of their art, experiencing their creative path of pain and cure, and searching into their secret creativity, the dance becomes a view of different perspectives that transgress the ready-MADe systems.

Yuko Kaseki seeks the vulnerability and the precariousness of one's existence, aiming to find meaning in the moment of being together and in sharing tools for re-making a possible future.
