Radial Body Radial Space 10&11 June 2023

In this workshop we approach Japanese Butoh in its methodology and essence. When we look at a Japanese garden in Kyoto, we are astounded. Within such a space there are very few elements, the space is mostly empty and still. Yet if we really observe, listen and contemplate, we might discover in this stillness a living and vibrant breath and in such a vast emptiness, suddenly in front of our eyes, the fullness of our entire existence. If we move from Japan to us and we start observing inside, with a precise bodily method, we enter into our inner forests with unexpected myriads and myriads of trees, plants, flowers, insects, animals, sounds, etc ... we are all full of resources to transform our life into universal poetry and our body into a body of soul. Of not 1000 talkative movements but one from within.
