Drop-in Butoh Classes & Butoh Jams
Hosted by London Butoh Dance Company & Posthuman Theatre
📍 Every other Saturday | 5:00 – 7:00 PM (Jam) 5:00 – 6:30 PM (Drop-in Class)
📍 Theatre Deli, London
London Butoh Dance Company & Posthuman Theatre invite you to a space for movement, improvisation, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Every other week, we offer two distinct sessions: Butoh Classes and Butoh Jams, alternating Saturdays.
Both sessions are open to everyone—whether you have experience in Butoh, dance, theatre, music, or visual arts, or are simply curious to explore new forms of expression. This is a space for play, discovery, and deep engagement in a non-judgmental, inclusive environment.
Butoh Classes Drop-in – Guided Exploration
A structured session introducing Butoh’s principles, philosophy, and physical practice. Each class offers an entry point into Butoh’s unique approach to movement, whether you are new to the form or looking to deepen your exploration.
✨ What to expect:
🔥 The foundations and aesthetics of Butoh
🌿 Presence, embodiment, and transformation
🎭 Improvisation techniques and deep body awareness
🔍 Exploring movement as storytelling and ritual
The classes offer a balance of structured exercises and open exploration, creating space for each participant to connect with their own creative process.
Butoh Jams – Open Improvisation Space
A space for free-form improvisation and interdisciplinary collaboration. Butoh Jams invite movers, musicians, visual artists, and creatives of all disciplines to come together and explore spontaneous composition in real time.
💃 Movers – Butoh, contemporary dance, contact improvisation, theatre, or any movement practice. No prior experience needed—just curiosity and openness.
🎵 Musicians & Sound Artists – Live improvisation and sonic experimentation with moving bodies. Bring instruments, voice, or any sound-making tools.
🎨 Visual Artists & Creatives – Sketch, write, or engage in any artistic medium that responds to the live experience.
Jams are open-ended sessions where structure emerges organically. Participants are free to move, observe, listen, create, and interact in a way that feels natural to them.
These gatherings are an invitation to step outside of familiar patterns, embrace the unknown, and engage with movement and creativity in a supportive and open environment.
🌟 No experience required. All backgrounds, identities, and creative disciplines are welcome.
🔻 Public Sharings – A Platform for Collaboration
Every other month, we will organize a Public Sharing—a platform where you can present your explorations to an invited audience. This is an opportunity to collaborate with those you meet in regular sessions and co-create. Whether you want to perform, showcase work-in-progress, or experiment with new ideas in a shared space, these gatherings will allow for deeper engagement and artistic exchange.
