Danse Butoh

Danse Butoh Free, personal and individual evolution Butoh is not a technique, which can be developed systematically. It is a free, personal and individual evolution. You have to break with your traditions and habits and look behind that to find something new. Dance is a journey. Suffocation, illness transformations, in-between pain and pleasure and the voice of magic We will inscribe the history of Butoh in our process. In this process we take a place, we change the place, we are in the middle of experiments. We are transforming. In our collections there are new confrontations, new everyday things. Experiences with their breaks, control of Self, transformations, transmissions, and transgressions. What are our attempts relating to? 1) Breath. Breath and its transformations, differences and combinations of breathing „forms“. Freeing a voice from the gorge. 2) Walking. Who walks? Coming from where and going where? Are we able to imagine "walking without feet"? 3) Touch the earth, jump, dance: the terms "tamafuri" and "tamashizume". 4) Movements of the 8. The 8 starts half ways, it stops half ways - no beginning, no end - in the inside there is the outside, on the outside the inside. One and the other cross each other, get mixed up. The Moebius Loop, asymmetrical spirals. 5) Future: future of the animal, of the plants, of the minerals passing. Becoming a corpse, fluid, solid, gas. Learning transmissions and transformations. 6) Improvisations. Form sneaking into the act. An interval, trembling, shifting. Breaking down, all in the same moment. Suffering, vibrations, coagulation, relaxation, convulsions towards humour.
