Dear Freedoms
I'm returning to CCA Glasgow next month for my next Dreaming Body Butoh dance class. I hope you can join me.

Also, some of you mentioned it would help to have more notice of upcoming classes, so these are the remaining CCA dates to the end of this year for your diaries:
- 10th August, 7th September, 5th October, 2nd November, and 7th December.
I believe tickets are on the CCA website for classes up until October already.
As usual, all bodies and experiences are welcome. Though I am not a therapist, I strive to take care of everyone's journey through the class and am on hand to discuss physical and emotional challenges. Please message me in advance or grab a word with me at the beginning of class if you have particular concerns.
Discounts are available beyond the concession price if you're struggling; again, please message me if that's the case. Details of what to expect during my standard class are below. Go well and madly.

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION.
Butoh is an immersive dance form originating in Japan, dubbed the ‘dance of darkness’ and also a 'dance of the womb'. We use gravity and fluid-awareness exercises to dissolve tension and rich imagery to awaken the Imagination-body, unlocking the unique dance within each of us. Moving meditation exercises aim to increase our physical honesty and ability to listen to body energies. Then through Image work and improvisation, we experience how surrendering to images frees our bodies and enables new experiences of our own being.
No prior experience is needed. These workshops are suitable for anyone interested in expanding their notion of what a human body can be, whether or not you consider yourself a dancer. We are not 'performing' for each other so much as dropping our daily body habits to uncover and share the Imagination hidden beneath.The CCA is a pretty accessible venue, and if you have any questions or anxieties around access needs please email me to discuss.
