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 short time,
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.

“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 Takenouchi
