Eroteme returns to PINK for an evening of Butoh dance, feedback and unstable systems.
Lucia H Chung works with the inherent noise and volatile feedback of the mixing console, collaborating here with Yumino Seki, whose Butoh practice uses the body, movement and somatic experience as material for performance.

Emilia Wysocka / nimb approaches sound as a generative system, probing contingent states where structured sonic objects briefly surface, mutate and dissolve.
Lucia H Chung is a Taiwanese experimental noise artist based in London, United Kingdom. She performs and releases music under the alias ‘en creux’ where sound creation springs from her interests and fascinations in the inherent noise floor within audio equipment. She uncovers and reveals such hidden noise via her manipulations with no-input feedback mixing. The volatile nature of feedback and the unpredictable glitch from the excessive energy generated within the equipment becomes her improvisational and compositional strategy. As the word ‘en creux’ suggests, she summons a hollowed out, reversed form of sound from the mixing console.
Lucia’s passion lies in live performance and has regularly performed solo and with collaborators in the UK, Europe, Asia and North America, including Lausanne Underground Film and Music Festival (CH), Krama Festival (GR), Lisboa Soa Festival (PT), Sanatorium of Sound Festival (PL), Festival Electropixel (FR), Sonorities Festival (NI), Through the Floor Festival (UK) and Supernormal (UK).
She also works as a broadcaster and an independent curator at Happened. She has curated and organised residency programmes and music events around the UK and Europe, including 3-month Taiwanese Experimental Music residency for Music Hackspace at Somerset House Studios, Inland virtual residency between Lacking Sound Fest. (Taiwan) and IKLECTIK (UK), and a panel discussion Going Platinum! on video game music as part of Grounding Practice at Somerset House Studios.
Emilia Wysocka is a Polish sound artist working with no-input mixing boards (erratic yet affective systems in which amplified intensities resonate through coupled circuitry). Her practice explores the unstable, self-generating behaviours of electronic feedback as both material and method. She releases music on Peig and has performed across Europe at festivals including Audioblast (Nantes).
Yumino Seki (b.1961) is a U.K based independent dance artist, Butoh practitioner and qualified somatic movement educator who performs, teaches and collaborates to make performances. She was born in Japan and has trained in both classical and contemporary dance. Moving to the UK she has expanded her dance and movement practices and she has been exploring somatic based movements since 1990.
She has been interested in authenticity of the transformative nature of the temporal body, exploring complex visceral expressions in particular drawn from a Butoh perspective. Collaborating with artists from diverse discipline has given her a broad approach to her dance practice. From solo improvisation to site-specific choreographic ensemble her work crosses between dance, installation and performance art. Many of her works are improvised in nature. Since the completion of the somatic training in 2013 she has further developed her unique practice combining Butoh and somatic approach which aims to embody action, sensation and concept in dance.
Between 1999-2009 she performed extensively in Europe in Butoh predominantly with Mamu Dance Theatre (Tadashi Endo), TEN PEN CHii (Yumiko Yoshioka) both in Germany and Ariadone (Carlotta Ikeda) in France. Between 2007-2012 she trained in VMI (Voice Movement Integration) Somatic Practice with Patricia Bardi in Amsterdam, Netherlands and gained a qualification.
She is a director at SEKI DANCE PROJECT, co-organiser at Butoh Brighton and a member of Chisenhale Dance Space
Seki’s work is informed by the cultural depth and diversity of both the UK and Japan. Her development in her dance has been a gradual exploration of both her collective and self-identity.
