Butoh workshop: Single Splendor Stroke, with Motoya Kondo
Single Splendor Stroke
“One splendor stroke instead of hundreds of movements”
When we encounter a masterpiece of a Japanese tea bowl, it is so silent and ordinary. It expresses nothing or insists on anything, and yet it represents a vast universe in a single bowl. Here, intricate colors, designs, and shapes can often hide the essence beneath…
Instead of hundreds of flowing lines of movements, we will explore one splendor stroke. A single stroke that expands into the vast space. One that leads us to recognize the stillness behind the movement. One filled with the primordial richness of existence beyond mere emotional and sentimental confessions.
In search of the ground of existence, the space behind the movement of body and mind, let the wind dance in the sky.
The workshop will include:
– preparing the body to be an objective object
– exploring external anatomy and contemplative anatomy
– basic movement principles
– connecting breath and body
– different texture of movement
– deconstructing the concept of time
– reconnecting with silent space in the midst of the movement
