Somatic Butoh

We will approach how to do less or nothing and then how can we be moved, transformed, walked, and danced. Butoh is not a dance to be created artificially from outside, from a skilful A to B placement of body parts, it is the dance within that moves the body, and with whom, every single breath, gesture, and movement awake and blooms like a flower.

One of the main features of butoh is metamorphosis, transformation, or so-called "embodiment".

But how can we transform at the beginning from the "ordinary" solid body that we have? What are the principles, the exercises, and the training that can facilitate such an entrance into the butoh journey?

The daily ordinary body like a sponge accumulates layers of busyness, worries, and stress, which can create tension in the body and in the mind, and sometimes bring burnout.

SOMATIC BUTOH WORKSHOP

Subtle Body Subtle Space
Oct 26 - 27, 2024 with Tiziana Longo | EN

The somatic realm in butoh is located beneath the surface of “verbality”, cultural influences and the mind's mechanism and triggers. In butoh, we can recognize a bodily new consciousness focused not on how the body will look or will be seen but on how it is felt and moved. In this immersive in-depth listening. The usual “ executers” muscles, (: “ Do this”; “Do that”; “Go from A to B” etc...)  will be explored in a different way than in the “efficient” daily life.

Then the “unnoticed” will emerge between voluntary and involuntary and a different body and response will emerge. In this research, the body will be scanned and deconstructed and a new subtle body will emerge. This initial journey is the entrance.
