In this workshop, we will explore the following:

-How language moves our bodies
-Actualizing the imagination

Ankoku-butoh originated in post-war Japan and is known as the "Dance of Darkness". Existing somewhere between performance art, avant-garde theatre and spiritual practice, it is now mostly characterized by incredibly slow movements, grotesque, taboo or transcendent imageries and subject matters, white body paint, heightened physical and emotional states and no standard styles. Butoh is ultimately a free form, concerning existences, and is useful in all practices. No dance or theater training whatsoever is required to participate.

WE LIVE WITHIN AN UNSTABLE LANDSCAPE

This is a social networking website connecting people concerned about innovation and experimentation on art, dance, embodiment, cognition, science, networks, post-humanism, media and the unstable landscape of contemporary culture and life.

We are in a transitional phase and refocusing the network with a broader interdisciplinary framework. It will reflect a contemporary community interacting and embedded unstablelandscape.

This network is maintained and administrated by Marlon Barrios Solano as an independent art/curatorial/social innovation project.
