¿qué ves cuando cierras los ojos?
¿qué sientes con tu piel?
¿que escuchas ahora mismo?
¿qué hueles?
¿quién eres?
Tu cuerpo esta individido y es perfecto

Durante BUTOH LAB CAMP redescubrimos nuestro cuerpo a través de danza y movimiento. Exploramos la libertad del momento presente. La guía y la presencia de 5 butokas nos dará la oportunidad de abrirnos a algo nuevo latente en nosotros, a experimentar la vacuidad de nuestro cuerpo y convertirnos juntos en un cuerpo unificado, una exhalación, una piedra o el sonido de un rio.

Butoh nos da la oportunidad de convertirnos en alguien o algo que existe en el terreno de lo desconocido. Haces un movimiento inconsciente, y de repente sientes lo que estás haciendo, te vuelves totalmente presente y te das cuenta de la unidad del universo en ese momento.

Todos podemos encontrar nuestro propio butoh. Nuestros profesores invitados, con basta experiencia, nos guiarán para llegar, no solo más cerca del butoh dentro de nosotros si no al que surge de ellos.

Clases: Desde 12 al 18 de Julio de 2022 (Llegada al espacio el día 11, salida el día 19).
Las clases se guiarán en INGLÉS.
Profesoras invitadas: Yuko Kaseki, Mari Osanai (Noguchi Taiso) , Shinichi Iova-Koga, Henriette Heinrichs y Matilde Javier Ciria.
Yumiko Yoshioka como supervisora (también dará una clase).
Cada día habrá 2 sesiones de 3 horas.

Localización: En Rumanía, en las montañas, al final de una pueblecito llamado Măguri-Răcătău, exactamente en las cabañas de La Ionel. Están equipadas con dormitorios comunes para entre 4 y 16 personas. Con 3 baños con duchas.
Contamos con un preciosos estudio de danza y una tienda junto al río, con su agua fría de las montañas. Rodeado de naturaleza salvaje con gran diversidad.

Transporte: Habrá dos transportes el día de llegada (11 de Julio) y en el día de salida (19 de Julio) desde la ciudad cercana, Cluj-Napoca (con aeropuerto internacional), hasta nuestras instalaciones, La Ionel.

What do you see when you close your eyes?
What do you feel with your skin?
What do you hear now?
What do you smell now?
Who are you?
Your body is undivided and perfect.

During the Butoh Lab Camp we will rediscover our body, through dance and movement. We will explore the freedom of the present moment. The guidance and presence of six butoh teachers will give us the chance to open up to something new within us, to experience how to empty our body and to become together one unified body, one exhalation, one stone or the sound of the river.
Butoh gives you the opportunity to become someone or something from the field of the unknown. You make an unconscious movement, then suddenly you feel what you are doing, you become fully present and you realize the unity between the universe and the moment.

All of us can have our own butoh. Our invited teachers, with vast experience, will guide us to get closer not only to the butoh within us, but to the teachings of the Butoh Masters too.

𝘾𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙨: The Butoh Lab Camp will take place from the 12th to 18th of July 2022 (the arrival on the 11th July and the departure on the 19th July).
5 Butoh teachers are invited to teach: Yuko Kaseki, Mari Osanai (Noguchi Taiso) , Shinichi Iova-Koga, Henriette Heinrichs and Matilde Javier Ciria.
Yumiko Yoshioka is a supervisor (also gives a session).
Every day there will be 2 sessions of 3 hours each.

𝙇𝙤𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣: In Romania, in the mountains, at the end of a village called Măguri-Răcătău, at La Ionel cottage. The cottage is equipped with dormitory style beds and three toilets with showers. Also, there is a dance studio and a big tent next to a river, with its cold water flowing down the mountains. It is surrounded by the wild nature with great diversity, unchanged by man.
Transport: We will have one or two transports on the day of arrival (11th of July) and on the day of departure (19th of July) from Cluj-Napoca to La Ionel accommodation. The closest airport is in Cluj-Napoca.

𝙈𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙨: There will be three meals per day with vegetarian and vegan food. One day we will organize a barbecue and a campfire.

–660 € reduced price for a limited number of students/dancers/performers
We can offer an additional scholarship to a limited number of participants in financial difficulty, especially from Eastern Europe.

𝘾𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 is possible until the 27th of June. Until this date reimbursement of the deposit is possible, having to pay just the reservation fee of 100 euros. After this date no reimbursement is possible.
