About
'Western dance begins with its feet firmly planted on the ground, whereas Butoh begins with a dance wherein the dancer tries in vain to find their feet.'
- Tatsumi Hijikata
Butoh can be mysterious, abstract, and esoteric, yet it can also serve as a creative gateway, catalyst, and even lead to unexpected breakthroughs. Over the weekend, Yumi guides participants to explore both the physical and philosophical aspects of Butoh from classical and contemporary perspectives.
The workshop is welcoming both experienced practitioners and those new to the practice.
