WELCOMING THE BODY

DANCE WORKSHOP INSPIRED BY THE SPIRITUALITY OF BUTOH

„So it is absolutely necessary for everyone to believe in nothing. But I do not mean voidness. There is something, but that something is something which is always prepared for taking some particular form, and it has some rules, or theory, or truth in its activity.” Shunryu Suzuki about Believing in Nothing

This workshop could be considered as a research into the unknown in order to find the dance already immanent in the body of each of us based on the spirituality of butoh dance.

We start by connecting our bodies to develop awareness and sensitivity and to sharpen our attention. We make our bodies stronger and more flexible by yoga elements and streching. We broaden our consciousness to change the habit patterns of the mind and its quotidian conditioning. We open our bodies to ourselves, to the outside world and to all dimensions to welcome any content that wants to appear in the body. We go beyond the well-known behavior and automatic movements of everyday life. We give time and space for the inner contents to appear, to take shape and to be shown.

Previous experience in dance is not required, only open-minded attitude.
