ABOUT THE WORKSHOP / This workshop is a basic level Butoh workshop and is open to all levels. This workshop is dedicated to give students an understand of how to use Butoh philosophies and techniques in dance, through very basic practical skills. The intention is to provide insight to explore and construct the idea of strength and intension from both physical and mental elements of the artform. In the class, you will go through the following elements...
STRETCH :We relax ourselves and rely ongravity to do the stretch, but meanwhile feel the tension of muscle, to findthe linkage system from every part of the body in a natural way.
GYMNASTICS & WALKING:Some techniques are from Noguchi gymnastics(野口體操), which wasfound in 1914 by Noguchi Taisou. During the exercise, we will try to find thelink between body and consciousness, notice the basic qualities you might needwhen performing: softness, gravity, direction, the center of body, balance,breath, etc. Meanwhile, butoh happens in the 「process」, which is thetransformation from abstraction to concreteness. In the process of walking fromone point to another, the image of body gradually appears. We use walking tolink two points and feel different shapes of human body during walking.
PRACTICE + PRESENT :Butoh is consisted of 「images」.Compared to 「I move my body」, the body is moved by images in Butoh. It is astate that body exists in the image world.

關於舞踏的基礎工作坊
舞踏基礎工作坊的目的是，通過一些基本的身體的運動與技術構建一個屬於舞踏手特質的 兼具內在強度與外在強度的身體。
工作坊由三個部分組成。分別是:拉伸，體操與步行，實踐 拉伸:以放鬆的狀態，用身體的重力來進行拉伸。在拉伸的同時，充分感受肌肉的緊張與 放鬆的交替過程與身體各部分的自然聯動，使身體儘可能恢復到自然的狀態。
體操與步行:一部分內容來源於日本的野口體操。在體操的過程中，用身體去直觀一種舞 臺上的表現者所需要的基本素質，如:放鬆，重力，方向，身體的軸，身體的左右與呼吸等。同時，舞踏發生在一個過程的展現之中，它在一個點到另一個點的距離中具象。通常我們用 步行來連接這個過程並在其中感受各種狀態的行走的方式。
實踐:舞踏表現由意象構成。比起「我要動」那樣的舞蹈，它更像被意象移動的身體，一種 在意象的世界裡裡身體存在的狀態。
