About the workshop
 
A total 21 hours Butoh workshop organized first time in Malaysia, a rare opportunity to deepen your understanding in Butoh fundamental elements, Butoh notation techniques, and philosophies. This workshop inspires you to investigate your own physical exploration, a way to understand yourself, and apply the philosophies into your art work creation.
This workshop is based on the Hijikata method (Butoh founder), called Butoh Fu / or Butoh Notation. The workshop investigates the relationship among Dance, Body, and possession.

From the workshop, the students will investigate the power of transformation as a fundamental element of Butoh, also exploring the different body conditions from heaviness to lightness, from condensation to expansion, relationship between space and time that is made by the body’s condition.

YUKIO WAGURI

 Born in Tokyo, 1952. The disciple and main male dancer at Tatsumi Hijikata’s Asbestos-kan during 1972-1978. From this period he kept notes of the words Hijikata spoke while choreographing. These words are called “Butoh-fu”, a unique method for choreography. Waguri has made his own interpretation of these words and continues using them as a method for his own choreographies and teaching. Over the past 34 years he has taught and choreographed around the world. He is the Artistic Director of the Kohzensha Butoh Company. When choreographing and teaching, his focus is on transforming oneself to become imagery rather than depicting this through movement.
With his rigid and flexible body, a good sharpness of beautiful model, and delicacy nuance, make him able to express his dance delicately. The variety of the dance, mainly base on the change of the subject, shows the new possibility of the future dance. In addition, physical image rouse attention through the words, the unique Butoh Fu of Hijikata lineage; he concentrates on collaboration with the other genre artist at the same time.
In 1998, he published the CD-ROM of Butoh Kaden , which has been read worldwide and receives numerous interests among butoh dance scholars and practitioners as it unveils the essence of Hijikata's Butoh notation and choreographic methods, provide an opportunity of the dance reevaluation that focus on Hijikata’s method.

Forest Where Stardust PIKAru

Countless Lives had become stars due to the great earthquake.
It is picking it up while saying that children are just part of the collection and the owners of whom the hands and feet were disjointed because of the tsunami will never understand.
The stardust is gleaned.
It is picking them up in tiles and pebbles now, for a lot of stardust that did not cut are covered with mud, and their light has only been shot so slightly.
The mother earth, please be silent.

Synopsis: 
 
I walk into the darkness, an abyss I have never known, I keep walking until the light become brighter, I become a bird. But then I fell into water, I am mad because I become the Queen Elizabeth, with sharp teeths and craws, the blood taste sweet. I walk in the stream, hoping to hold the light from the moon, the only hope to release myself that the light shine on my forehead.

Sypnosis:

A lady in red spirit awakes every night in the dark forest. She is wandering and dancing without a purpose.  What surrounding her are the wet, cold air, the creatures, the silent, and the loneliness. Sometimes she becomes a stone, or becomes an animal, she is part of the dark forest.
