This open workshop invites participants to explore butoh as a practice of listening, presence and connection. Through simple, playful and dynamic exercises, we work with movement influenced by ecology, posthuman thinking and neurocreativity. The body is approached as part of a wider landscape — shaped by materials, forces and environments. No previous dance experience is needed. The workshop offers a shared space for exploration, creativity and well-being, where each participant is encouraged to develop their own personal dance at their own pace. The workshop is held in English.
