Join us for the weekend dance workshop “Butoh – Space Awareness”, which will take place on March 9-10, 2024 in Krakow.
In the mind-body space
Every move
It paints a fleeting picture
Our bodies exist in physical, “external” space, filled with the movement of matter.
Our minds are the “inner” space where mental movement (visions, thoughts, etc.) manifests.
Life is a constant dance in a boundless space, manifesting itself in external and internal forms.
Awareness of various aspects of existence in a multidimensional space opens us to the experience of the unconditioned space of the mind. In this “expanded perspective”, the body-mind frees itself even more deeply. This is where the dance that doesn’t is born
is a dance.
The workshop is addressed to both 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.
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.
