Butoh/Contact Improvisation Sessions: Interbeing
Saturday, July 12 from 1-4 pm
Saturday, August 2 from 12-3 pm
at Kestrels
188 6th St.
Brooklyn, NY
These workshops, entitled "Interbeing", facilitated by Eilish Henderson will act as a continuing inquiry into the ways in which we can approach contact improvisation from a butoh lens. The essence of our being is interbeing- with eternal and necessary threads connecting us to the land, rivers, and one another. Grounded in the notions of the body as water vessels, these sessions will act as a supportive movement practice that engages a deep sense of listening-prioritizing care, slowness, and awareness of gravity in moments of contact. Each session will be distinct and informed by those present.
The flow will look something like this: arrival/grounding, several guided exercises with images/textures, open jam/improvisation, and a closing. No prior experience with butoh or contact improvisation is necessary.
*Please register only if you plan on attending.*
Sliding scale fee: $15-30.
