SUMMARY:Butoh Workshop with Gio Kusanagi
DESCRIPTION:CRS presents an 8-week drop-in Butoh workshop with visitin
 g artist Gio Kusanagi. Gio Kusanagi studied Butoh (Japanese avant-gard
 e dance) with Moe Yamamoto, Toru Iwashita, Kunisuke Kamiryo, Yoshito O
 hno (son of Kazuo Ohno), Yukio Waguri, Seisaku & Yuri, Ko Muroboshi, a
 nd Kayo Mikami and a Butoh-inspired interpretive dance with Akira Kasa
 i.\n\nThe workshop will take place on Mondays from 1 – 2 pm from Apr
 il 4 – May 23, 2016 and will cost $15/session. In conjunction with t
 he workshop, Gio will present an evening of original dance performance
  with live music at CRS on Saturday, March 26, 2016 at 8 pm.\n\nCRS ha
 s a long history of presenting Butoh performance and training. Butoh a
 rtists to teach at CRS in the past include Shinichi Momo Koga, Tanya C
 alamoneri, and Mariko Endo, among others.\n\nIn this workshop, Gio wil
 l introduce\n\nKunisuke Kamiryo’s system of instilling the movement 
 impetus within the body by using the sound of vowels, along with Akira
  Kasai’s spoken words visualization system;\nYuri’s warming-up sys
 tem of movements, along with basic Butoh walking taught by both Moe Ya
 mamoto, Kayo Mikami, and Yoshito Ohno;\nconcepts of “Shin (core),”
  “softness and hardiness,” “lightness and heaviness,” “eyes 
 at the back,” and “movements from the heart,” taught by Yoshito 
 Ohno;\nSelection of Butoh-fu with the active use of images that Gio le
 arned from Yukio Waguri, Moe Yamamoto, and Seisaku, as he reorganizes 
 the various Buto-fu through the Rudolf Laban’s four dimensions of ef
 forts: (a) weight (light and heavy); (b) time (sudden and sustained); 
 (c) space (direct focus and multifocus); (d) flow (bound flow and free
  flow).  Furthermore, Gio will introduce a technique to create a new 
 Buto-fu on your own by translating a 2D image into 4D time-space-conti
 nuum.\n\n\nThe workshop will culminate with the last session in which 
 participants will be encouraged to create their own Buto-fu and inform
 ally share each other’s original Butoh dance.\n\nThe purpose of this
  workshop is not to expose the participants to the entire scope of But
 oh. Rather, the workshop is designed to provide the participants with 
 the opportunity to experience some of the essential elements of Butoh 
 and thus allowing them to have an insight on how some of these Butoh p
 rinciples and vocabularies can be applied to new choreographic ideas a
 nd inspirations.  This will be an excellent workshop for choreographe
 rs who are looking for new choreographic inspiration, dancers or physi
 cal actors who wish to widen the range of their movement vocabularies,
  or healthy adults who are seeking the self-exploration by deepening o
 ne’s understanding of the internal psyche, as “the true goal of Bu
 toh is not to impose choreographed movements from outside but to allow
  the movements to emerge from inside, and structures are merely the ga
 teways to the ‘inside,’” according to Tatsumi Hijikata.\n\nFor m
