BUTOH, originating in Japan..
where 'the body is in a 'state of poetic rupture'....
'molting and morphing always in a state of becoming'....
igniting the imagination..
to 'be moved' by a vast array of internal and external sensorial image. The class is offered in a nurturing, non judgmental environment... where practices are optional and non pressured... where stillness, is as valued, as movement.
The first session explores Oki-do Yoga as a way into the body.. to tone.. strengthen.. elasticize.. center and empty the mind / body creating a sturdy platform 'to step' in... to 'Butoh' where a vast plethora of images, textures and qualities are offered to ignite the imagination.. to move the body.. and to change the reality of the body..
Creative, coordinating walks across the space are practiced as a means of training and technique.. also preparatory for butoh. Tactile practices.. sometimes group and partnered.. sometimes using sound.. are used to sensitize the awareness.
No experience is required to attend... and all body conditions are welcome..always responding with "the body you have today" Please contact me for further enquiry or feel welcome to just! show up to a class! at any point! a little before, would be supportive to allow time to check in.
