Remix 3: Powerstation/Arus

In this masterclass, choreographer and dancer Leu Wijee, will share his newest discovery/movement research that he calls Powerstation/Arus. Participants are invited to understand how Leu Wijee organizes continuous movement-word-energy, work with scores, and the time-space continuum in the mind-body.

RIDDEN

The title Ridden is translated as ‘ditunggangi’ in Indonesian and ‘憑依/Hyoui’ in Japanese. It is a word associated with spirits or ghosts–invisible but a felt present, when one returns from an unknown territory and their shoulders are ridden by a foreign energy/spirit.

Leu Wijee, A Work about Bodies Post-Disaster and What it Entails

His collaboration in Museum II: Ridden with Mio Ishida, a choreographer from Japan, left a deep impression on Leu. Leu realized that he and Mio shared similar experiences, both living in areas prone to earthquakes and natural disasters. While in Japan, one of the outcomes from their joint creative process is the concept of the body in ‘standby’ mode.

Museum II: Ridden

“Museum II: Ridden” is a reflection/performance that presents a vocabulary of motion centered on the exploration of mutation and the sense of alertness in the body. The exploration presents bodies that have experienced disasters: the three dancers on stage are ridden with rhythmic movements, filled with fragrance and mantra.

Leu Wijee

Leu Wijee is an Indonesian (self-taught) artist, dancer and choreographer who divides his time between Palu and Jakarta. He describes his approach of “between disaster and dance” as his ideation process. His artistic research and practice is based on exploring personal and collective traces. His movement language tends to be minimalistic and relentless. He experiments and uses choreography to switch on “many things” (senses, spaces, sounds, etc),and others that resonate with his practice.
