Butoh with Vangeline

About

Butoh Workshop I (morning session): ‘Open level: everyone welcome’

Butoh Workshop II (afternoon): Open to all morning session participants, Vangeline’s students, those with Butoh experience, and actors, dancers, or performers.

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

In this workshop, Vangeline teaches participants to explore the link between receptivity and Butoh, as well as receptivity’s impact on the nervous system.

This work focuses on relaxation techniques and the parasympathetic nervous system, supported by the technique of Noguchi Taiso. Noguchi Taiso or Noguchi gymnastics is the foundation of Butoh. Professor Noguchi developed this release technique between the 1950s and 1970s in Japan, in search of a method “devoid of ego or violence”.

What can we allow to blossom when we deeply release tension, and when we enter into a harmonious dialogue with gravity?

Because Butoh is not about “showing” it is also not about judging what we’ve been shown. Together in movement led by acclaimed Butoh performer Vangeline, participants will experience an opportunity for a great opening
