Butoh Dance Classes
butoh_chris.jpg Butoh is one of the four training methods that the Zen Zen Zo company works with in preparing actors for performance. Zen Zen Zo has also produced a number of Butoh works, including BUTOH: THE WAY OF MUD (1993), STEEL FLESH (Brisbane Festival 1998), UNLEASHED (1996, Adelaide Fringe Festival in 2000) and THOSE WITH LUCIFER(2005).

Butoh is a contemporary avant-garde dance-theatre form that originated in Japan. It has been described as a dance of the senses, or "pure" emotional states expressed through the body (instead of through words), of universal imagery, of poetry and metaphor. It combines dance, theatre, improvisation, and ritual, crossing cultural borders in its search for the universal.

In addition to learning this unique form, the classes will aim to find each person's unique physical expression, unencumbered by language, tradition or social conditioning. The training also develops deep focus, body awareness, a rich imagination, and emotional truth in the actor/dancer.
