BUTOH ("zen
dancing"),
created by Tatsumi Hijikara and further developed by Kazuo Ohno,
is a contemporary Japanese dance form that materialized in response
to WWII and cultural traditions such as Kabuki Theatre. Butoh is
connected to nature and the human condition, transformation and metamorphosis – "being" rather
than "expressing", explored in a wide spectrum from the
grotesque to the ecstatic... a truly profound experience.
VIEWPOINTS, created by Mary Overlie
and further developed by Anne Bogart, is a dance and theatre practice
experienced through guided yet highly improvisational movement
of group and individualized kinethetic explorations. Sensing,
listening, witnessing and playing are tools to develop group synergy
and trust to intuitively and spontaneously move through space and
time. While generating theatrical gems, it also develops flexibility,
articulation, creativity and strength in movement.
