Workshop Introduction

If the body is a stone, will you bloom from its internal fractures? Butoh spreads in mysterious forms, embodying heterogeneous movements that question the essence of the body. This workshop uses "Butoh-fu" (Butoh notation) exercises to enter its unique world, exploring the possibilities and impossibilities of the body, and initiating an internal dialogue with oneself.
