Voice and movement workshop by Miki Kadokura
at Ellipsis Open School 2019 in Algarve, Portugal.

A discovery of the borderline in your outer Natur and inner nature. We dropped found objects at the beach into the ceramic ring. Dropped objects and the ceramic ring shapes random waves around which was our score to sing and dance. We transmitted this composition into your body expression. Breathing, walking, jumping, voice tone and so on while walking round…. Synchronising to the others in a circle. This workshop is a question to the single destination timeline of our modern age and the journey to discover the origin of the ritual and community through the circler and repetitive movement. It was not a performance for the audience. We all had to be satisfied and convinced by ourselves without judgement.

We defined the location at the edge of the beach where the tide coming up by the sunset. Coming up tide was gently guided our rhythm of the circle and naturally we improvised burring our ceramic ring by our foot steps. When the sand covered the ring completely, we ended our ritual. We spent the night at the beach afterwards and found our burial was totally washed away. But one stone came back to one of the participant.
