REN GYO SOH SUMMER WORKSHOP: "INFINITE POSSIBILITIES; TRANSFORMATION"
with Yokko
Using a series of exercises from Butoh (a contemporary dance form from Japan) plus voice & movement exercises, this workshop will guide to the freeing of organic movement from the soul and the ability to be available for the creative process in life.
These exercises increase physical awareness; help to develop concentration & relaxation, and support you to not only connect with your inner truth, but the outside world. All exercises encourage the exploration, discovery, and expansion of your emotional depths. In such a state of openness you can be seen truthfully and honestly, -- which I call "a bare soul in public." Through Butoh training, we will work on getting rid of unnecessary tension, self-consciousness, and preconceived notions, and explore our true selves, allowing us to connect with others and the world. The body is a vessel. And emptying the vessel is the key to transform- create something new.
Friday, Aug. 10, 7-10pm (3 hours)
Saturday, Aug. 11, 2-6pm (4 hours)
Sunday, Aug. 12, 2-6pm (4 hours)
