Never fixed in culture or time, this dance remains a personal investigation.
Taught by Shinichi Iova-Koga
Allow images to change your body or your action. Transform your condition until you perceive your programming. Deconstruct your habits. Develop energy-efficient and fluid movement. Intensively examine yourself through new frames. Send power through the system and then drain it. Sink weight until the most essential and poignant impulses remain. The training will encourage physical and mental receptivity as well as precise physical engagement. Build a coherent body ready to ride the chaotic stream of the subconscious.
Butoh dance belongs to mystery. Walk, crawl, roll, spiral, extend, contract, transform the dance.
We integrate improvisational training with exact physicality.
Butoh ist niemals in einer bestimmten Kultur oder Zeit verankert und bleibt so eine persönliche Untersuchung. Körperliche Handlungen werden durch die Filter von Bildern (z. B.: deine Füße sind geschmolzen), Zuständen (z. B.: steif werden und wieder erweichen) oder Fragen des Ethos (z. B.: dein Körper gehört dir nicht) betrachtet. Das Training fördert körperliche und geistige Aufnahmefähigkeit, physische Präzision sowie den Aufbau eines vernetzten Körpers, der bereit ist, den chaotischen Fluss seines Unterbewusstseins anzunehmen.

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
