PERSONAL STATEMENT

“I’ve entered the public space as a visual artist/scene designer dealing with photography, slides, and video as well as costume design. Later, I became more interested in traditional visual arts and a little bit later started directing full-length theater performances, happenings, and other forms of performing arts.

The biggest inspiration and experiences for my research related to personal and group transformation through arts I got through the theory and practice of works/methods of Gurdjieff, Peter Brook, Grotowsky, Feldenkrais, Jung, Tatsumi-Kazuo, Alexander, Moreno, Schlemmer, Dunkan, Reich-Loven, Vicharova, Rainer, Kovac, Ladik, Monk and Spollin. But, also practicing Dru Yoga, Chi Gong, Secret Dance, Butoh, Balkan traditional dance & singing, Free Dance and Thai&Yumeiho&Reiki & Lomi Lomi massages were very important inspirations for developing my own methods and instruments I use in my arts and the workshops.”

“My profession is the business of human rehabilitation..” (Tatsumi Hijikata).

“I needed to invent names for my professions in the world that insist on ‘precise’ entry. But today, the names of professions have very narrow meanings because they refer to and indicate narrowly specialized (fragmented) professions or their names are so general that their meanings are very wide. Both cases are not precise and useful at the moment. That is how I feel, forgive me, if that is offensive or contradicts your opinion.”

*cotamegute (pronunciation: kotemeguta) is my word for all disciplines I am practicing.
