About this event
This introductory workshop, led by butoh dancer and performance artist Katherine Adamenko, offers a hands-on exploration of butoh, an avant-garde form of Japanese dance that uses imagery, memory, and deep physical states as the basis for movement.
Through guided exercises, participants will experience some core butoh approaches to movement, presence, transformation, and physical imagination. The workshop also offers a window into the movement practice behind BUTOH FAMILIA: Waves of the Sea, a performance project exploring ancestry, spiritual inheritance, and memory through the body.
No dance experience is required. The workshop is designed for anyone curious about butoh, movement, performance, or embodied creative practice.
Reserve a spot to see the free community performance of Waves of the Sea the next day, Sunday, November 15, at butohfamilia.com.
This project is made possible with funds from the Statewide Community Regrant program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature and administered by Lower Adirondack Regional Arts Council.
