Presencing Buto- Buto en Présence in Kerminy

 

Embodied gathering at Chateau de Kerminy in Brittany, France 

It’s simple really. Our invitation for this gathering is to add to the fluidity of our collective capacity for a creative life by incorporating buto bodywork into the soul of collective presencing. Slowing down together, creating our days together inside and out, and finding micro and macro spaces for movement within and beyond our body-beings is intended to be fun, explorative, and transformative. Radical even. What else does the capitalist system want more than for you to be sedentary?

 

For those of you encountering butoh for the first time, both the three days spent mixing B + CP and the final two-day workshop with Maki Watanabe will provide safe and gentle settings for your curiosity to vibrate, bounce, and explore its potential. You are encouraged to stay for the five days to fully taste the universe creating its dance through us. 

 

As we companion and wayfind over the days and evenings, in contact and intimacy, our call will be to let everything be a teacher, a provocation for releasing our sacred selves. As we work, presence, move, create, cook, eat, clean, and discern together, let us as one body make our own impermanent, emergent revolution.
