BUTOH CLASS WITH MIZU DESIERTO JUNE 18th
Hosted by Vangeline Theater
Workshop description: BODIES OF WATER: This exploration of inner and outer environment through butoh imagery and contemplative dance awareness will begin from a microscopic look at the role of water in our bodies–traveling through cells, tissues, organs & saliva–eventually becoming larger bodies of water–ocean, river, tide. The workshop is a means of creating an experiential landscape to research the essence of our nature, through both internal and external landscapes of fluidity.
