This Butoh workshop examines the body as a threshold—a space where what is known meets what is waiting to emerge.
We start by returning home—to breath sensation and presence—before moving toward movement and creative discovery. Through guided improvisation structured frameworks and attentive presence we explore how form and constraint can unlock freedom expression and transformation.
This practice encourages you to deepen your presence expand creative resources and discover movement that feels both new and deeply personal. It provides tools to support choreographic inquiry the creative process and embodied exploration.
Together we experience cycles of arrival departure and return—each time discovering new territory. This workshop features live music by musician and composer Lisa DeGrace. We invite you to join us; the only requirement is a willingness to begin.
