Dance with JINEN,
dance with all life which has been born from the universe.
Where do we really come from?
Long ago, at the time of the
big bang, it seems that all forms of life composed on single and unique
entity. If this is the case, hundred of millions of years have now
passed, during which our respective lives have branched into different
directions.
In the same way that a tree
spreads into branches, the galaxy and stars have detached themselves
from the trunk of the universe. The planets and Earth split off from
the solar system. Furthermore, the earth, the sky and the sea have also
branched and after this, plants and animals have subdivided. People,
just like me, are also part of this ramification. And even variety of
goods, variety of relics that human have made in the history, still
more creative products from a machine civilization now are also part of
this ramification. Nature and animals, people, artifacts and gods,
such as all of life equally lies ahead of this branches.
If those hundreds of millions
of years have really built our body, then surely, somewhere inside of
us, we should have kept a memory of when we were universe and stars, of
when we were earth, of when we were stone and river, and mountain and
wind and fire. And also we should have kept a memory of when we were
flowers, trees, animals. Furthermore we should have kept a memory of
living in relics, of living with gods mythology, of believing wings as
extension of body to fly to the sky.
Open the door of these
memories and let's try and dance, transformed into those sun and moon,
into those four elements, into those various life and various gods.
Let’s dance with memory of various relics, various machines.
Those all born from the universe was life equally. And they were called “JINEN” in ancient Japan.
Let’s dance together with all this JINEN.
Through dance, let's remember that our body was at one with Earth and the universe.
Furthermore, if the leaf that
I am, coming from this branched universe, could feel, even just a
little, the weight of those billions of years, then I will realize
that, far from being just some simple little organisms, I myself, just
like others, form the tree trunk constituting the beginning of the
universe.
You are the star, you are the earth,
You are the wind, you are the river, you are the stone and fire,
You are the seed of the machine, you are the relics, you are the myth of gods.
You are also the animal, imaginational creature.
You are the sprouting trees, shining glower.
You are all….
Through dance, the borders
separating us from all those will progressively fade away. Life, under
multiple shapes, is then linked to everything, and represents a dancing
presence.
In the time of 6months let’s dance with all those JINEN as far as possible.

JINEN Butoh school with Atsushi Takenouchi
2019 December – 2020 March
Monthly 10days Butoh course
with residency in Toscana /Italy
Tutti gli esseri viventi nati dall’Universo danzano con il Jinen .
Da dove veniamo ?
Dicono che prima del Big Bang c’era un unico Essere.
Dopo miliardi di anni, l’Essere si è ramificato per arrivare a noi che siamo degli esseri separati.
Come fosse un albero. Dal tronco dell’Universo si sono rmificate le galassie e le stelle.
Dal sistema solare si sono ramificate le pianete tra cui la nostra pianeta terra.
Dalla pianeta terra si sono
ramificati la terra, il cielo e il mare che, alla loro volta, hanno
visto ramificarsi le vita, vegetali e animali.
Noi essere umani siam solo una parte di questa ramificazione.
La ramificazione si estende
generando i resti storici costruiti in diverse epoche fino ad arrivare
alle creazioni della civiltà industriale di oggi.
Tutto ciò che esiste ora, la
natura, gli animali, i prodotti artificiali e perfino i dei sono i
risultati di questa ramificazione cosmica.
Il corpo umano, perciò, è stato formato attraverso questo processo iniziato milliardi di anni fa.
Allora, da qualche parte del
nostro corpo, potremo trovare la memoria di quando eravamo l’Universo,
la stella o la pianeta terra, la pietra o il fiume, la montagna, il
vento oppure il fuoco.
Potremo trovare anche il ricordo di quando eravamo i fiori, gli alberi o gli animali di diverse specie.
Non potremo cercare anche i ricordi di quando vivevamo nelle città antiche ora in rovina insieme ai dei ?
Pure la memoria di quando eravamo muniti del meccanismo per volare chiamato le ali?
Dunque, apriamo la porta di queste memorie.
E danziamo trasformandoci nel sole, la luna, la terra, l’acqua, il fuoco, il vento, gli esseri mortali e immortali!
Danziamo anche con le rovine delle città anriche e con le macchine!
Tutto ciò che nato dall’Universo è ugualmente la vita che nel Giappone antico veniva chiamato il “Jinen”.
Danziamo con il Jinen!
Danzando ricordiamoci che il nostro corpo era una volta parte della pianeta terra e parte dell’Universo!
Se potessi sentire anche
lievemente i miliradi di anni che sono passati su di me che sono
soltanto una foglia nata dalla ramificazione cosmica, non sarò più un
minuscolo essere vivente ma parte dell’albero cosmico nato all’origine
dell’Universo.
Tu sei una stella. Tu sei la pianeta terra.
Tu sei il vento, il fiume, la pietra e il fuoco.
Tu sei il seme delle macchime, la rovina della città antica e i miti.
Tu sei gli animali reali e immaginari.
Tu sei l’albero che germoglia e il firore che splende.
Tu sei tutto....
Danza, danza fino a quando il confine tra te e loro sparisce.
Tu ti trasformerai e sarai collegato con tutto ciò e ci sarà uno unico Essere Danzante...
In un anno faremo tutto il possibile per poter avvicinare a danzare con il Jigen.
Atsushi Takenouchi
