Taught by Shinichi Iova-Koga
The culture and training of each individual infuses Butoh dance with vital new perspectives and flavors. Digging into self-formation and history ripens the dancer’s transformation process.
The first steps towards transformation exist in time. Suspend, extend and compress the temporal experience with physical precision and imagistic fluidity to open the potential of the moment. Complex and nuanced forces shape the gesture, arising without force. The pathway of the eyes beckons the next move.
Exercises develop energy-efficient motion and connectivity to build clarity and stability. With this foundation, enter the chaotic stream of images and impulses. Become wild. Let go of rigid logic. Enter the unknowable dance.

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 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.
