Corporeal Reformation Butoh - Presented by Josie

A series of classes hosted by members of the kink community to celebrate SAKE's 10 year anniversary.

Butoh Sensation/ Meditative Dance is a movement workshop for couples or play friends. This workshop will aid in finding a new sensation based way to engage with another. Working with internal energy and touch, this workshop is an exploratory venture into the Butoh Dance Method. This method fine tunes intuitive movement as well as responsive engagement with another body.

Internationally known as a meditative dance, Butoh has many methods that awaken the senses. Understanding that we are phenomena encased in flesh, we will play and explore what it is to be human…with the humans that mean the most to us.

Workshop will cater to couples and triads. There will be space to explore new friends but there is space to keep with the same partners or partner throughout the workshop.

Exercise mindful consent to others and to your own body. This workshop is a sense/ sensual based movement exploration curated for a kink community.

The mysterious Butoh dance defies definition. One understanding of Butoh is, it is a practice in being human. Butoh shows you the multiverse of our reality. To humans this reality is defined by the senses. In this workshop we will practice listening. Listening with ears, with touch, with our eyes, with all our senses and with a sense one might call extraordinary. We will also move. Move to our bodies desire and move to the external forces of reality. In hopes of finding some harmony in understanding, we will play.

Just as we will practice listening and we will practice responding.

During the workshop we will break up into pairs and practice listening and responding. Being mindful of each other and listening to the totality of the body. Move to the limit of your body. Communicate your limits.

All levels welcome. Couples or singles.

Topics will cover:

• Greeting and warm up
• Solo exploration
• Partner exploration
• Cool down and closing

Please arrive punctual since every aspect of the workshop will prime you for the next.
