Subbody Butoh - Dance of Life
8 weeks workshop with Kats D
Subbody Butoh Method was developed by Rhizome Lee, a Japanese Butoh practitioner. "Subbody" means subconscious body. In the subconscious realm, away from the boundary of ego and daily consciousness, our mind and body melt into oneness and create world that is completely different from daily world. Though various conditioning techniques, a Subbody Butoh practitioner creates movements through exploring the subconscious realm.

This workshop will focus on the essential aspects of Subbody Butoh:
• Quiet down the daily consciousness and listen to the subtle body signals.
• Go beyond our physical, psychological and social bounds in order to create movements that are novel and unique to the individual body.
• Develop Subbody movements through opening eight channels (body feeling, movement, visual, audio, emotion, relationship, world-self image and thinking).
• Explore movements through Hidden Body (Hidden Skin, Hidden Muscle, Hidden Joints, etc)
• Through the Life Resonance with other Subbodies, become Co-body.
This workshop requires no dance experience. Anyone who would like to explore his or her hidden creative potentials is welcome!
