Send your questions or provocations to Adam or Budi here!In this episode, Adam and Budi discuss their upcoming training workshop on Taksu Theatre in Bali. Every artist in Bali strives for taksu. The Balinese define it as the moment when the artist completely surrenders to the form of their craft and God appears. This energy has many names and is present in every culture. Indians call it Rasa, the Spanish call it Duende, and the Yoruba call it ase. Co-Artistic Directors, Budi Miller, and Adam Marple will introduce you to the concepts of taksu and how it interacts with Western Actor and Director theatre training with Balinese Performing Arts Training (BPAT). This workshop will be in collaboration and consultation with the master teachers of Bali. This 10-day theatre training workshop focuses on activating the ultimate performance energy of taksu in the body and composing spaces to activate and contain this tangible energy. Participants will work daily training in BPAT: kecak acapella choral chanting, Balinese gamelan orchestral, Fitzmaurice Voicework; mask work; the Viewpoints; Budi Miller Taksu Training (BMTT) and Composition and Director Training. All activities and housing will take place at the GEOKS Arts Center in the village of Singapadu from August 19 -29 2023.Mentioned in this episode:GangajiI Wayan DibiaKecak at GeoksMary OverlieAnne BogartJulian Elijah MartinezBaraka KecakArtaud and the BalineseSupport the showIf you enjoyed this week´s podcast, please leave a review on Apple Podcasts.
