IMPRESSION “RESPONDING TO KO MUROBUSHI”

Izaukun Insausti

I am very grateful for having the opportunity to come to Tokyo to Ko Murobushi’s Archive and for taking part of this research process.

After two weeks getting as much information as possible from Ko Murobushi’s work, I realized that I could only acquire some little and basic ideas that I would like to develop and go further related to my background.

I was very interested in ideas like cutting with old visions of the society, stereotypes, imposed rules in dance and how to reach the audience in another way. Also about the potential of the body language and how to find it, not through imitation, forms or representing something as we learned, but searching it through our own singularities. I was captivated reading about the concepts of “White Moments” in dance, ephemeral instants, being in permanent destruction and construction or the capacity to transform and to be transformed, and specially, the possibility of being different things, identities and nothing at the same time and to dance at this edge.

I could also understand better what he wanted to develop in this last project “Nijinski à Minuit” and why we were different dancers with different backgrounds. I think there is much more work and information I would like to find out about him, his investigations and how to approach dance or artistic process in different aspects.
