Never fixed in culture or time, this dance remains a personal investigation
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.
