Butoh Dance and the Uncivilised Self

We were born to move, sense, and feel deeply. Over time we censor and refine, limiting our movements and responses to conform to our expected roles.

In this workshop, an exploration of Butoh combined with practices inspired by Feldenkrais, Linklater and BMC open us up to sensing truthfully and deeply into the liminal space, the space beyond words, logic and conformity.

We're invited to be moved by the full spectrum of life's experience, embracing the grit alongside the divine. Accessing the energy usually invested in maintaining a mask of civility and control, and making it available for a fuller range of articulation.

We are giving our bodies permission to move without censorship, and beyond habit into the liberated space of "no mind."

Participants Should Bring:
- Lunch and snacks.
- Water bottle
- Pen and paper or journal
- Yoga mat or a blanket

No previous experience is necessary.
