BUTOH
Butoh is an experience, not like any performance as it shows what is underneath and hidden in plain sight.
Butoh is always new, always modern as time has no meaning in what is true.
This cannot put into words nor described. Coming from a truely understanding all the suffering of human kind.
And the joy of living a true life free from conventions. In that respect it can be totally unsettling.
The movement comes from emptiness, a zero point where there's nothing, a void, yet full of life so creation.
It's where there is freedom so vast that it cannot be understood.
An empty space, a freedom, powerfully creativ and liberating for those who see and 'understand'..
Creativ in the moment coming from letting go of everything striving to express anything.
It's true emptiness and liberating that can unsettle people. The point of absolute stillness.
The one point of immobility where the dance of creation begins.
In order to receive, even for the audience, you have to step aside. The ego subsides.
The point where stillness and movement are inseperately one and the same.
When you know stillness you know the dance.
Poetic dance but it is as poems can be....like a haiku.
As human beings we strive to be free and a butoh dancer understands that only the body truely knows freedom.
As a dancer steps aside to let the body speak, the body speaks unspoken words in every gesture.
It speaks of a creativ force, which holds the universe together.
In butoh the dancer shows where our true potential lies...
In that respect butoh is truely liberating, not only for the dancer but the audience can experience this too...
the hidden secret of butoh....
The Beginning and the End are One eternally...
