with Stefano Taiuti
“The Spiritual Mechanism” is a unique approach to dance and self discovery that integrates western movement analyses focusing on the visible, and Butoh to explore the invisible, the subtle, what is behind the movement and generates it.
with Soptik & Sansei
In this workshop, we move beyond the floor and into the air. The hashira becomes not only an anchor but a suspension point. We will explore how suspension transforms the dialogue between rope, body, and beam: from resigned stillness to to subtle motion, from a tight embrace to playful exposure. You will learn traditional suspension techniques for the hashira. In some ties, we will integrate the hashira with bamboos, extending the
experience from the vertical into the horizontal space.
with A-Nicolas (formerly Yoroï Nicolas)
Breathe. Shift your balance. Walk, weave, occupy the space—and disappear. Now, do it all with your partner, a rope, and the magic of movement. In this workshop, we’ll transform into an organic system: unpredictable yet beautifully organised, learning to move freely and naturally within the ropes.
With Kirigami & Tenshiko
Approaching traditional semenawa from a practical and theoretical point of view, understanding the iconic patterns of the style, and the philosophy behind them.
