This talk by Vangeline explores the often-forgotten origins of butoh, with women butoh dancers dancing in “cabarets” to make a living in Tokyo in the 60’s and 70’s. This history has led to unique methods and contributions by women in our field–contributions that have typically been overlooked. Drawing from her own background as a go go/burlesque/vaudeville dancer, Vangeline discusses eroticism in Butoh, as well as receptivity and its impact on the nervous system. This lecture is also informed by Vangeline’s current work with neuroscientists at the University of Houston, Texas.

This master class explores the “hanging body” in Butoh, muscle tension
and relaxation, our relationship to gravity in Butoh. We start with exercises focusing on the arms and move to explore techniques of "hanging", tensing, and relaxing our muscles in butoh to dance creatively. This work also explores difference between engaging the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems in Butoh.
This class is open to beginners, and these techniques are very easily accessible.

Dig and cultivate body as frontier, to find out hidden untouched field of emotions, memories and sensations...
Research each details of body parts, to devide and reconnect.
Observing habit of movement in socialized function. Dysfunktion is a way of creation, to find new layer of vision and body system.
Following Yuko Kaseki’s continuous research with various physical training methods such as Noguchi gymnastics, elements of Tai-Chi Dao-yin, Butoh methodology, Dance Improvisation and Live Art, the workshop is aiming to develop original movement through body awareness, sensitivity, and also discover hidden dynamic energy.
Finding the core of our body (Tanden), which is our energy source, listening honestly to the variants of the Inner- and develop this in relation to the Outer-world, will be an ongoing focus point. Direct physical connection with the others and the space will stimulate and enhance physical imagination and help accumulate a vocabulary of movement and practical action.
Participants are encouraged to discover authentic movement of own Self from a deeper sense, through playful Improvisation with imagination of elements, essence of quality, gravity, scale, dimension, directionality... searching balance between both extremes of tense and release, silence and chaos, strong presence and disappearance... sharing personal experience of survival in the shape of movement becomes the main ingredient of a collective dance improvisation online.
