(舞踏 Butō) arose in 1959 through collaborations between its two key founders Hijikata Tatsumi and Ohno Kazo. It's a poetic and transformative movement practice that invites us to move beyond habit, technique, and performance. Through observation-based exercises, participants explore states of neutrality and stillness- the "zero point" from which authentic movement can emerge without acting or pretending.

​

The workshop deepens awareness of the body and its expressive potential through physical preparation, partner and group work, and a sensitive engagement with space and environment.

 

Guided by imagery, sensation, and imagination, we explore the inner landscapes, sounds, textures, and memories that shape movement, touching a place of authenticity from which genuine expression can emerge.
