The workshop is aimed at beginners and advanced people who are interested in self-development and deepening and expanding awareness of the body-mind.
It will be useful for dancers, performers, actors, people practicing martial arts, yoga, etc., as well as people interested in body therapy who are looking for authentic movement and mindful presence in the body in relationships with others.
Working methods:
– Aikishintaiso (Aikido internal gymnastics),
– Noguchitaiso (Noguchi Michizo gymnastics),
– Butoh improvisation with/without image,
– expressing emotions in dance,
– Butoh dance: individual, in contact with a partner and in a group,
– meditation,
– deep relaxation.
Thanks to a diverse approach, the workshop participant will be able to delve into their interior (physical sensations, emotions, mental visions, “sense” of space, etc.) to become aware of them and express them in authentic movement.
BUTOH
Japanese “modern” dance – originated in the 1950s as a result of the search for new forms of expression. Its creators: Tatsumi Hijikata and Kazuo Ohno negated both their own tradition (Kabuki, Bunraku, Nō) and “opposed” Western mass culture.
In Butoh dance, the body becomes a text, a record of human experience discovered through movement. Butoh creates opportunities for direct, total self-expression.
