Event Summary

Event Description

An intensive workshop in an intimate and supportive group, exploring Butoh dance through imagery, presence, awareness and the tension between opposites. Butoh (dance of transformation) is an avant-garde dance philosophy/method created in Japan in the late 1950's. You will gain a freedom and a way in to working with your imagination in a creative and deep way. The aim is to free the body from its mundane preconceived set of gestures in order to access a deeper and more authentic essence of movement and archetypal expression.

Location: Studio 1 at The Cockpit.
