Hi, As a fusion belly dancer in the Netherlands with a huge interest in butoh I am organising a workshop with Mieke Verhooren in Utrecht.
if you are in the neighbourhood you are more than welcome!
About Butoh:
Butoh is Japanese Movement theater, closely related to dance. It is based on the western and eastern philosophy of dance. The most important principle of butoh is that it takes the contents as a starting point, not the shape it eventually receives. This means experience and imagination determine the shape. It keeps on searching for the original impulse of the movement, a process for which it uses the language of the body. To reach this material several basic principles are used to train the body to relax to create space in mind and body. By slowing down mind, body and movement the dancer experiences a greater concentration and a higher level of consciousness. The tranquility and spaces this creates makes it possible to open up to images and impulses from inside and outside what results in the material for improvisation.
Butoh en Tribal Fusion Belly Dance:
Of all belly dance styles tribal fusion belly dance is one of the most tranquil, quite and powerful styles today. It demands technique, vision and inspiration. To meet these demands fusion dancers train in multiple disciplines. In this form butoh is an important source. The common ground between these two art forms consists among others of slowing down movement and the transformation of internal images to external shape without losing the pureness of the emotion/ impuls.
In this workshop you will work on your own dance, movement quality and contents of your dance by deepening your understanding of movement and the connection between the internal and external realities. Truly a unique experience!
The workshop will focus on the following butoh principles:
• Awareness of the current state of the body
• Slowing down movements
• Giving and receiving impulses by manipulation
• Transforming from images and improvisation
Wear comfortable clothing, black preferred, no shoes or jewelry’s:
Teacher: Mieke Verhooren: www.miekeverhooren.nl
Date: 16 maart 13.30 tot 17.30
Location: De Dansvloer (Balkstraat 31 te Utrecht)
Cost: 40 euro
Information and booking: Arya: www.arya.nu 06-14246491
