<\/a>Yuri h\u00e4lt den Workshop mit Seisaku, einem weiteren Butoht\u00e4nzer, der wie sie das gleiche Trainingsgewand tr\u00e4gt; auch die gleiche Ersatzw\u00e4sche nach der Pause. Wir w\u00e4rmen mit Ballett-training auf und beginnen mit der Idee, dass unsere K\u00f6rper gef\u00fchrt werden. Wie durch Seile, die von der Stirn nach Vorne, vom Hinterkopf zur\u00fcck, von den Ohren zur Seite ziehen. Aber es gibt auch Seile, deren Ursprung hinter den Aug\u00e4pfeln liegt, auf den Backenz\u00e4hnen, am Knie und den H\u00fcftknochen. Wie sollen uns vorstellen, wir w\u00e4ren Teil einer Gruppe; rund herum Menschen und wir werden durch die Gruppe bewegt und entscheiden uns nicht f\u00fcr eine Bewegung. Dann wachsen uns noch L\u00f6wenzahn aus allen Poren und wir improvisieren im Dunkeln. Relax.<\/p>\nTry to open the body in the workshop.
\nFirst, try to open various sensations to outside of the body, then feel.
\nWatch the stars, hear the sounds of the next room, touch cold water….
\nThat looks easy, but actually we can’t do it so easily.
\nBecause we tend to re-create them.
\nOur body thinking depends on the image,
\nwe try to confirm, arrange, and prepare when we start.
\nWhen we behave (do) such a way like that, our sensation and eyes are going to close.
\nWhen our hands and eyes touch something, another part of the body has to help them as hard as they can.
\nWe have to use the whole body for doing anything.
\nThere is no room for thought and emotion.
\nThought and emotion should come later.
\nWe should first have the desire to touch and ask, \u201cIs that the same thing as love\u201d?
\nThat surely makes the space around you change.
\nMy teacher Tatsumi Hijikata always scolded me,
\n“ Show the invisible things, no one wants to see the things they already can see!!“
\nThe space which is changing makes various forms by the way of the senses.
\nIt’s going to be complex forms.
\nBut we should simply practice the first step.
\nAfter that, we can mix more elements that we need.
\nIf we put too many elements on the body on the first step, the skin is going to die with noise, the eyes are going to go inside(thought and emotion).
\nPeople often talk about „going inside“, but it’s not so easy, we only can go inside by looking at ourselves from the outside space which already became our body.
\nThe outside body looks at our body as if seeing an unknown thing.
\nIt’s not to barricade ourselves inside with a brain or emotion which are familiar to us.<\/p>\n
Butoh dancer’s eyes are different from the eyes of those that only see daily life.
\nSome are only looking and seeing themselves with the eyes which are closed by a thick membrane.
\nThat is not good for Butoh dance.
\nWhen we have opening eyes, our body already became eyes itself,
\nso the (real?) eyes don’t work as their function.
\nThat’s like a curtain waving at the window,
\nit waves by another factor (wind, someone pulling…etc) but by itself.<\/p>\n
Now I remember the same thing as that.
\nFor example, when a dancer happened to fall on the stage, it gives a strong expression to the audience.
\nBut if he tries to do the same thing again, it cannot have the same effect (has never come back).
\nThat strong power can never come back no matter how hard we try to do the same thing.
\nWe can’t get the power of the first time it happens. The first accident makes our body open because that is an unexpected thing.
\nIf we try to do the same thing, our brain begins to work, then the sensation of the body closes.
\nTatsumi Hijikata taught us that a Butoh dancer must be able to do each as the first (that) hundreds of times (as each).<\/p>\n
So how can we do that?
\nThe answer is „To become“.
\nWe become something and jump into the sea which we have to become.
\nBecome the naked soul and jump in.
\nI think it’s very important to throw away thought and usual custom for opening the body.<\/p>\n
The thing I really want is one drop of water to the exhausted body.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
