Butoh is an avant-garde, radical, revolutionary dance of transformation, which emerged at the end of the 50ese in Japan, it is not a technique but rather a method and a philosophy, an approach to dance that is born within us and connects us to our essence, nature, the universe and the cycles of life and death.<\/p>\n
Tatsumi Hijikata, the main Ankoku Butoh Dance Founder (Ankoku Butoh- dance of Darkness) used imagery to choreograph his dancers. Butoh-Fu is something that Yukio Waguri, one of his long time dancers, put together from his own notes of the words used by T.Hijikata when he choreographed his dancers at Asbestos-kan, the studio he led in Tokyo.<\/p>\n
In this workshop, Karavan introduces, explores and gives experience of numerous original Butoh-Fu, taking us onto a journey through the origins researching for new ways of writing dance \/ movement scores. Butoh-Fu allows us to encounter the absurd, dadaist and obscure realms of Tatsumi Hijikata, Kazuo Ohno and Ankoku Butoh.<\/p>\n
The main elements that will be explored in the workshop are metamorphoses, dance through imagery, presence, awareness, and the tension between opposites with the aim to free the body from its mundane preconceived set of gestures and movements and thus allowing us to access a deeper and more authentic essence of movement and archetypal expression.<\/p>\n
Questioning how Butoh can be translated into a European Body and why Butoh is still extremely relevant nowadays, Karavan shares more than 25 years of Butoh experience, during which she had the opportunity to work with founders of Butoh in Japan, Kazuo Ohno and Motofuji San \u2013 wife of T. Hijikata \u2013 as well as with Tadashi Endo and MAMU dance theatre, Yumiko Yoshioka and Ten-Pen-Chi, Sankai Juku, Minako Seki, Carlota Ikeda, Akira Kasai, Ko Morobushi and Natsu Nakajuma among others.<\/p>\n
