OFFERINGS - Living Movement Rites

MAESTRAS — a butoh investigation of flamenco.An offering to the teachers who shape a life, a practice and a body at the intersection of butoh and flamenco. The dance asks: What is the body like when it is listening? Who do we become when we surrender completely to a teacher? How much of ourselves can we let go of to grow?

HARVEST OF WOMAN — clay, memory, myth.
A dream-like fable of endurance and transformation. Figures at the edge of story—the Potter, Fish Woman, Blind Woman, the Maid, the Mother—arrive through visceral movement, sculptural costume, live design, and film. Vessels crack and soften. Shadows breathe. Fabrics change the air. Sound carries the labor we rarely see.

Two distinct works, one night. A perceptual performance & art show where attention is the guide and the body does the talking.

Info: RITMOS DEL CUERPO (BODY RHYTHMS) - an investigation of musicality in movement

In this session we will examine the naturally occurring rhythms of our somatic experience, including breath, heartbeat, footstep, asking: what is happening physically and metaphysically during these motions? We will explore percussive tendencies and potentials of our bodies drawing from traditional flamenco palos of 4- and 12- count rhythms (compás). We will also engage elements of butoh with technical discipline and duration, structured improvisation and choreographic play.

This class is designed for dancers, musicians, and any other artist interested in enhancing or incorporating rhythmic elements in their works. It is also appropriate for people who may not identify as an artist, but want to connect deeper with the rhythms of their body, increase awareness of movement potential, or simply learn more about the rhythmic laws of Flamenco from within a butoh perspective.
