The starting point of RESTEP, the new production by Emi Miyoshi and the SHIBUI collective, is the intensive study of folk dances and their comparison on the basis of movement, semantic meaning as well as rhythm. As part of a religious rituals, folk dances allow the practitioners to reflect on collective memories and stories to experience their belonging to a cultural group through collective memories and stories. The basis for this contemporary interpretation are dances from Japan (Nishimonai Bon Odori, Awa Odori from Tokushima), China (folk dance from Dai), the Philippines (Manobo tribal dance) and Turkey (Horon).

 

Complex step sequences interact with live percussion and drums (Konrad Wiemann). The movement of the five dancers and the beat of the drums interact with each other and influence each other. Through overlaps, shifts and outbursts, different rhythmic melodies emerge. A common pulse develops. RESTEP transfers the multifaceted characteristics, energy and atmosphere of traditional folk dances into a modern and intercultural variant. The movement material derived from the traditional dances is brought into a new cultural and dance context by the choreography and reinterpreted and further developed by the individual movement language of the dancers. In the process, the mechanisms of collective memory are reflected upon and the possibilities and limits of communal and traditional dances are explored.

 

A special concept in the development of this production is the sustained further development of a longer research process from summer 2022 to December 2022 with various artists at the Theater Freiburg and Südufer Freiburg.
