"Losing my name, I want to become only the dance." - Uiko Watanabe
Raw Butoh Night warmly invites you to join Japanese dancer and choreographer Uiko Watanabe for "Looking at a Vertical World from the Side," an immersive two-day journey into the world of Butoh.
Dates:
October 31, 2026 | 10:00–17:00
November 1, 2026 | 10:00–15:00
Location: Dock 11 Eden, Berlin
Participants will explore core Butoh principles: jumping in order to fall, dissolving the body into space, and moving beyond habitual patterns.
Uiko’s approach "losing my name, I want to become only the dance," invites us to inhabit bodies that are not our own and to let the dance itself come forward.
Workshop Structure:
• Stretching and physical preparation
• Fundamental Butoh exercises
• Guided improvisations and creative tasks
• Individual and group exploration
Open to everyone — no previous experience required. Dancers, non-dancers, actors, and curious humans are all welcome.
Registration:
• Early Bird: €180 (until August 31, 2026)
• Regular: €230
• Solidarity tickets: 3 places available, first come first served. Email us directly about that.
