Service Description

“At a given moment I think a plant is about to be born in some corner of me… I can only watch and wait… All I have is the feeling or hope that it will grow leaves of poetry or of something that could become poetry when seen by certain eyes… it will be on guard against the mind contemplating it when that mind suggests too many grand meanings or intentions. If the plant is true to itself, it will give out a natural poetry it is unaware of.” –Felisberto Hernandez Butoh is an art focused on the body speaking for itself. Using elements of butoh and Naguchi Taiso, we will focus on finding empty space and stillness within our bodies and our movement, letting go of conscious choices to allow outside forces to act upon us, and explore elements of absurd, grotesque, and impulsive movement. This workshop will start on the ground before incorporating the rope. Pre-reqs: Curiosity and a willingness to occupy vulnerable spaces.
