Taught by Shinichi Iova-Koga
Becoming air, ocean, cloud, mountain… manifests uniquely for each individual, arising from the ground that nourishes the dance. The culture and training of each individual infuses Butoh dance with vital new perspectives and flavors.
Digging into self-formation ripens the dancer’s transformation process. Physical precision combines with imagistic prompts. Dance through unreasonable terrains. Suspend time. Complex and nuanced forces shape the momentary gesture, the pathway of the eyes.
Exercises develop energy-efficient motion and connectivity to build clarity and stability. With this foundation, enter the chaotic stream of life. Become wild. Let go. Enter an unknown world. Build the strength to allow weakness. Dance belongs to mystery.

Hi are you doing the class Saturdays, 1pm – 2:30pm EST: Butoh: Deconstruct the Darkness?
I can’t find it in your Eventbrite… also do we pay for the whole month or can we pay classes individually? thanks
The Butoh class, as a specifically Butoh class, happened in June. In July, we have coming up next week a 4-day workshop “Performing Actions” which will have some Butoh oriented ideas as well as training for improvisation and looking at the details (on a physical and compositional level) of any actions. We’ve been a monthly subscription model (vs. charging $20 per class) to encourage continuity and consistency of practice. Our July training registration is via Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/july-training-with-inkboat-live-online-tickets-111130799212
Hi! Is there any class/workshop planned for the next months? Thank you
Hi Sabrina. Thank you for your message. Yes, there will be classes starting up again this month and through October and November. We’ll be posting that information soon.
