Butoh Online Movement Course

by Nobonke ~ 'we|are|all|together|now'

Pioneer Group

The Butoh movement practice was born
out of the devastation following the atomic bombings
of Japan in 1945 ~ to dance pretty became obscene.

Covid-19 is an expression of a wider catastrophe
affecting the health of life on the planet.

Our response to this phenomenon may unfold as an
expression of courage, honesty and authentic humanity
guided by the Butoh aesthetic.

Butoh
  • respects energetically
  • suspends humanity so all may live
  • embodies crisis for future action
  • affirms mentality through the Body
  • embodies radical self-acceptance at this time
  • is beyond strength or suppleness, resilience or balance
