LEIMAY LUDUS: Guest Teacher Lab - Butoh with Yukio Suzuki

Module I // Foundation I: “To know, hear, and feel the body” (12 hrs)

Nov 6th & 7th, 6pm-10pm; Nov 8th, 10am-2pm

In this Ludus Lab, Suzuki will guide participants to move and feel their bodies on a conscious level. Through connecting and separating between body and consciousness, participants will explore their “body of freedom,” opening up a new way of experiencing and moving the body. It all begins when the body is felt carefully.

Module II // Foundation II: “Develop your body to connect Dance” (12 hrs)

Nov 10th-12th, 6pm-10pm

In this session Suzuki will share his way of how to use, show, be conscious of the body based on different Butoh principles. Participants are invited to excavate their new bodies through Suzuki’s synthesis of and approach to butoh and his ensuing dance technique. Participants will find in these explorations both strength and flexibility that can be carried into many physical expressions of dance.

Module III /// CREATION: “Catch the moment of becoming Dance” (16hrs)

Nov 14th & 15th, 10am-2pm; Nov 16th & 17th, 6pm-10pm.

This session will focus on exploring each participant’s individual way of dancing. Here, it is meaningful to question “What is dance? When does ‘it’ become dance?” and continuously challenge ourselves to embody “it”. Rather than copying another’s movement, it is important that you catch the moment “it” becomes dance through your own body experience. Make your own dance from ‘nothing’, instead of learning a prescribed something. Experience how “it” becomes the work.
