Butoh Dance Research Workshop with Gyohei Zaitsu in Nuage Fou Theater Saturday Sunday 12h - 19h
Butoh
is an avant-garde dance movements born in late 50's in Japan. The
founders of Butoh like Tatsumi Hijikata or Kazuo Ohno focused on the
abandoned part (dark side) of our body in the process of their work.
They
considered that all the movements treated as "negative"
elements could
be included in the dance. Such as madness, illness, awkwardness,
weakness, foolishness, chaos, sexuality, perversion, nothingness,... Through
the movements of the dancing body, they made a research about the
relationship between the body and natural phenomenon, life and death,
soul and body, order and chaos, purity and dirt, humanity and
non-humanity, reality and imagination, visibles and invisibles, daily
life movements and dance, holiness and banality,...
In
the workshop, we will make a research with our own body inspired by
their point of view on the human body and on the relationship between
the body and its environment.
Each
participant will observe his own body as a unique space of
laboratory where any kind of movements can happen and go through.
I
hope that we can touch the mystery of our being through the dance and
that a new Butoh dance will be born through our actions.
