THE BIG ORGANIZERS TEAM
We met in Ten Pen Chii in 2010, and we grew in Butoh under the wings of Yumiko Yoshioka. Ever since we have been collaborating as artists and friends, driven and united by the love of Butoh. Our vision was so profoundly connected that in 2024 our path joined again to give birth to BIG Butoh international Gathering, the biggest and most important event for butoh dissemination in Europe, and a great legacy from Ex..it project.
Though our Butoh experience has been mostly intertwined, each of us has a different background, Camilla is also a contemporary dancer and choreographer, Spiros has also strong performance and theatre experience to empower his technician sensibility and Matilde has a deep theater and clown work experience.
“During BIG we have been able to put our diversity at the service of a shared goal and this is why our different ways worked as pillars of a temple, they supportively engaged to what was necessary, We consciously yielded any friction for the sake of BIG!!!! Since we have been working so smoothy together we decided to look for some friction, and we created B.I.S workshop! Our new summer intensive project! You can read about it HERE! “
