Butoh + Contact Improvisation Class 9/27

 
Two hands reach towards one another, the fingers slightly bent. Stepan Liubimov

The next contact improvisation/butoh class is coming up!  

 

Saturday

September 27, from 1-4 pm

 

There are several others I'm offering on later Saturdays:

October 18, from 12-3 pm *Note the earlier time.

November 1, from 1-4 pm

 

at Kestrels

188 6th St.

Brooklyn, NY 

 

These classes, 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 classes 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.
