FILM & VIDEO
Arts Council England and UK Film Council’s New
Cinema Fund : Single Shot
Deadline : April 11th 2006
The exciting new initiative supported by Arts Council
England and UK Film Council’s New Cinema Fund – is
holding an open call for submissions in order to find
anyone with creative aspirations and visual ideas that
can come alive through moving images.
The submitted work must be inspired by the concept
of the ‘single shot’ – a film in one take, or just your
take on what the term means.
Whether your entry is from a webcam or video phone,
digicam or super eight – whatever it takes to get
your message across – as long as the work is
between 15 seconds and five minutes in length, send
it in.
The chosen ideas will be professionally realised for
inclusion in Single Shot which will receive a major
London launch in November 2006 (full details TBA)
and then tour to a further five major cities in
England.
The Single Shot works will not only be shown in
cinemas, they will be screened in galleries, Borders
and Books Etc, and in other public spaces. They will
also be available as downloads to mobile phones and
on the Internet. Each film will receive full post
production and edit from a team of specialists, while
you remain at the helm as Director. As well as this,
your work will be shown alongside commissioned
works by internationally recognised artists working in
film and video.

WORKSHOPS
CAVE, Brooklyn, NY : One month ongoing BUTOH
WORKSHOP
with DAIRAKUDAKAN member Takuya Muramatsu
Dead Line : April 18 2006
Intensive Training with long-time member of the
internationally renowned company DAIRAKUDAKAN.
This season at CAVE will feature a rare opportunity of
training intensively, over a sustained period of time,
with Muramatsu Takuya, who has been performing,
choreographing and teaching with DAIRAKUDAKAN for
over 15 years.
Muramatsu will lead participants towards an intensive
exploration of Butoh concepts as developed by
Dairakudakan.
About Takuya Muramatsu
In 1994 Muramatsu joined Dairakudakan. Since then
he has performed in all of their public performances
and is the leader of Mujinjuku, the summer intensive
program of the butoh school of Dairakudakan. In
2000, he formed the butoh group Butoh-ha Dattan
(Ferocious Butoh) and premiered Gyudankin (Casting
Pearls to the OX) at Spheremex Fringe Dance Festival
in Tokyo. His own choreography, “Ushiro no Shomen”
was performed at the Japan Society, New York in
2002, and in 2003 he created the work “Treasure
Island,” which had its world premiere at the American
Dance Festival. He performs not only for
DAIRAKUDAKAN, but also for several other companies,
involving opera, ballet, the theater, and other genres,
and in 2007 he plans to create a new performance
piece, to be presented in Japan.
About DAIRAKUDAKAN:
The legendary company Dairakudakan, established in
1972 by Akaji Maro, has already presented more than
fifty works, and the company has performed
internationally in twenty-five cities in nine countries.
In 1964, Akaji Maro founded a theatre production
called Jokyo Gekijo under the leadership of Butoh
choreographer Tatsumi Hijikata. In the 1960s, Mr.
Maro was acknowledged as an actor who melded
Kara’s “privileged physical theory” with his own
spectacular acting method, and in Dairakudakan he
brought a spectacular performing method into their
dance. The company recently performed its new work
Complete People at the Art Sphere in Tokyo, and the
company received the Japan Dance Critics
Association’s Award in 1974, 1987, 1996 and
1999.
