Seattle Butoh Festival Workshop 2016
Embodying the Spirit workshop with Master teacher Joan Laage. Sat 11 to 3 pm July 9 & Sunday 12 to 5 pm July 10. First 10 to sign up are eligible to perform in the Wandering and Wondering performance July 17 at Kubota Gardens in Seattle
Northwest butoh pioneer Joan Laage leads her Embodying The Spirit Workshop.
Experience training methods towards a supple body and mind, and investigate aesthetics common to butoh through creative explorations. This course is a process of erasing and re-creating the body through guided improvisation largely inspired by nature imagery. ETS explores endless questions: What is life? What is the human condition? What is the body? How can we experience infinity within the body/mind? The workshop structure includes exercises and explorations of physical body, nature body, and transforming body. Group and partner work will facilitate participants individual and collective journeys. The workshop draws from Joan's training with Butoh Masters Kazuo Ohno and Yoko Ashikawa (the major disciple of Butohs founder Tatsumi Hijikata) and her background as a Tai Chi practitioner and professional gardener. The first ten participants to register and pay their fees will be invited to perform under Joan's direction for Wandering & Wondering, an annual 3-hour event at Kubota Garden.
