Connection between JINEN BUTOH and body and yourself with Atsushi Takenouchi August 1 - 7, 2012 All life is born of this earth. And originally human danced on the ground of this earth.It is important to fi nd out and to be conscious of our body as a part of this huge circulation. Everything is JINEN. Kientalerhof is located in beautiful
nature, and it’s a place for learning physical method or creative course
and meditation. Residency will be in the accomodation and also camping is available. Please contact to below. This time we will work on our body movement to recognize the connection between nature/ environment and yourself through Atsushi Takenouchi’s JINEN Butoh training. And he will guide us how to create dance from this awareness, and it enables us to know that we can change all the environment into dance. During this term, we will explore body gravity, movement and balance, imaging body, transformation by internal and external state, visible and invisible, various walking, conscious and unconscious movement, a dialogue between body and an environment, with basic Butoh practice. Meeting with the nature, we experience the connection between your body and nature, and also experience the environment as a part of your body. We discover how the body movement arises and becomes dance. There will be morning classes, afternoon classes and improvisational dance in nature and in the studio. The classes will be with live music made by Hiroko Komiya. Atsushi will lead our work into the creation of each participant’s short solo/duo piece. On the last day, there will be the participants’ presentation in nature or specific outside location.
