Transformation

“Transformation” is one of the secrets in the mystery of Butoh!

Staring as a woman in panic, then

-> becoming a child
-> into an old hag
Got it?
You want to try it?

It has been quite refreshing to dive into these world, collaborating with @brettwalkerphotogrpahy and @tweakandtwang, revisiting my past, present and future creative works!

If you are also interested in experiencing the magic of Butoh, come to our workshops.

Butoh can be mysterious, abstract, and esoteric, but if we dive right in, it can also serve as a creative gateway, a catalyst for transformation, and even lead to unexpected breakthroughs!

In my upcoming workshop, I'll guide you through 10 focused points to explore the physical and philosophical dimensions of Butoh, blending both classical and contemporary approaches. Whether you're a newcomer or an experienced practitioner, this journey is for you.

(After all, we never stop learning!)

"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

Let's find our feet together.

舞踏週末ワークショップ、６月、メルボルンダンスハウスにて！

ある種不可思議で、抽象的で、わかりにくいとも思われやすい舞踏ですが、深く入ってゆくと楽しく、思わぬ展開や、新しい創造性の入り口を見つける鍵にもなりますよ〜

土方さんもおっしゃいました。

「西洋の踊りは足を地につけて始めるが、舞踏は足を必死に探す踊りから始まる」

（意訳です）

それでは一緒に足を探してみましょう〜！
