Any small life has own life time.
 
The butterfly life has birth and death in the short arch of time.

Nights and days, their whole life or one measure. As the butterfly feels whole life in this 17days,
 we explore how deep we feel our own life and presence through this term. At the same time,
 we explore how we express it in front of audience through this Butoh workshop.

“Dance is devotion to life.” 
I learned this while travelling nature fields called JINEN. This has never changed since old times and will never change. This means I should dance to “my life,” to the moment, and to now,
which lasts forever.

I got my body from the earth. I got my life from the sun and the moon, my parents, my friends and my love. So I’ll return the gifts to these universes. I’ll return them to others through a dancing body and soul. When I see a tiny flower selflessly, I meet a dance filled with the joy of “life.” And then, my body is filled up with the water of “life.” The seeds of memory inside me become a bud.
The sounds of wind are the whispering of the earth. The sound of minerals is the muttering of machines. We hear the sounds of the universe through explosion and noise and stillness.
Oh, thousands of sounds, take our souls far away to our unknown world. As we travel, remind us of forgotten dances. On the sun and the moon, there are young men singing eternal songs at every place in the world. Let’s begin an ancient and modern fete of “relics of life”
 holding artifice and nature-on earth.

Atsushi Takenouchi
(www.jinen-butoh.com)

Joined butoh dance company „Hoppo-Butoh-ha“ in Hokkaido in 1980. His last performance with the company “Takazashiki”(1984) was worked on by butoh-founder Tatsumi Hijikata. Atsushi has started his own „Jinen Butoh“ since 1986 and created solo works „Itteki“, „Ginkan“ as a universal expression of nature, earth, and ancient times and impressions of the moment, meeting with people and environment. He made 3 year “JINEN” tour project throughout Japan for 600 site-specific improvisations (1996-1999). During this time, he started to be inspired by a spirit of the universe of Kazuo Ohno and Yoshito Ohno. Since 2002, he has been mainly based in Europe, working on Butoh dance collaboration project with dancers and actors in France, Poland, U.S.A and other countries.

Hiroko Komiya (www.jinen-butoh.com/hiroko_profile_e.html)

Atsushi Takenouchi
  “Dance is devotion to life “
   “La danza è devozione alla vita… Questo l’ho imparato viaggiando attraverso i campi della natura chiamati  JINEN, non è mai cambiato dai tempi antichi e non cambierà mai. Ciò significa che vorrei danzare la “mia vita “e l’istante presente, che dura per sempre. Ho ricevuto il mio corpo dalla terra. Ho ricevuto la mia vita dal sole e dalla luna, dai miei genitori e amici e dall’amore, così restituisco questi doni all’Universo e agli altri attraverso la danza del mio corpo e della mia anima. Quando vedo un piccolo fiore, incontro una danza piena della gioia della vita. Il mio corpo è pieno dell’acqua della vita e i semi della memoria depositati in me, germogliano. Il suono dei venti è il sussurrare della terra, il suono dei minerali è il borbottio delle macchine. Udiamo i suoni dell’universo attraverso le esplosioni, i rumori e il silenzio. Migliaia di suoni, portano la nostra anima lontano verso un mondo sconosciuto, viaggiano con noi e ci ricordano di danze dimenticate, sul sole e sulla luna, in ogni posto del mondo giovani uomini cantano canti eterni. Cominciamo una festa antica e moderna dedicata alle “reliquie della vita”, che abbracci l’artificiale e il naturale presente sulla terra”. JINEN BUTOH Atsushi Takeno
