Butoh Workshop with Yuko Kaseki

Butoh Improvisation Workshop with Yuko Kaseki

The improvisational body existing in each moment.

A moment running through memory, a memento to reach new experiences.

Break habits and find the body in momentum.

Collect and leave new memories in an instant.

Here we begin to dance, Me·Mento.

The workshop develops original movement through physical training, body awareness, and improvisation with image, gesture, space, and relationship. This edition focuses on solo performance: through improvisation exercises, participants find the core of their own theme.

Physical training is based on Noguchi gymnastics, Butoh methodology, and elements of Tai-Chi. The work opens the whole body to deeper layers of sensitivity, cultivating energy from the body's center (Tanden), and developing an honest dialogue between inner sensation and outer expression.

The workshop moves through solo, duet, and group improvisation. Through intensity and reduction, each participant can dive deeply into movement and translate it into individual expression — finding their own body, reality, and presence.

Conducted in English, without translation. A working command of English is required to follow instructions and inner-work guidance.
