ButohMA workshop TADASHI ENDO, elève of the great butoh dancer Kazuo Ohno, found his own way of dance which he calls “Butoh MA”. MA is a very important word in zen buddhism which has two meanings: the “emptiness” and “the space between the things”. When Tadashi Endo is teaching, it is not only hard warming up, improvisations and choreographical work, he also tries to give a deap view into the butoh philosophy, tells a lot about what Kazuo Ohno and Tatsumi Hijikata were thinking and about their lives as “butoist”. But he always tries to let the students search for their own butoh. Like Kazuo Ohno says;”everybody can dance Butoh” but may be not the Japanese butoh, everybody can find his/her own movements in the sense of butoh.
