NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY!
This
class is being offered to provide weekly training towards developing
the foundations of Butoh. More than just physical technique, butoh
begins with erasing the social body and ego, listening deeply to
awaken internal impulses, and to begin to follow these everstreaming
energies. The physical body seeks to become pliable and more responsive,
to embody the subtle shifts in energy sparked internally. Whether
you dance or not, these skills enhance awareness and sensitivity,
qualities that benefit our daily lived experience.
