SUMMARY:Corporeal Reformation: Butoh Explorations and Body as Phenomenon (W
 orkshop)
DESCRIPTION:This transformative workshop\, titled "Corporeal Reformation\,"
  invites participants to explore the body's deep and spiritual need for re
 organization and re-shifting. The term "corporeal reformation" signifies a
  profound process of remembering the inherent connection between the body 
 and well-being\, acknowledging that this journey is ongoing and ever-evolv
 ing. In this workshop\, participants will engage in grounding stances\, po
 etic dance notation (Butoh-fu)\, improvisational image-making\, and discov
 er the body as a phenomenon\, utilizing Butoh\, an avant-garde dance form 
 born in post-WWII Japan. Butoh is a rebellion against Western beauty stand
 ards\, focusing on controlled movements that embrace imperfection\, often 
 drawing inspiration from nature and the earth's gravitational pull.\nAbout
  the Facilitator:\nThe workshop is led by artist Josie J (also known as di
 vinebrick)\, a self-described iconoclast and seeker of the sacred primordi
 al being. Josie J's name represents the decolonization of the self and the
  remembrance of one's connection to the soil and the earth. Josie J has st
 udied Butoh dance with Koichi and Hiroko Tamano\, Butoh masters\, as well 
 as with influential dancer Oguri in Venice\, CA. Additionally\, Josie J ha
 s practiced Gung Fu and Tai Chi under the guidance of the late Sifu James 
 Ibrao. Josie J's work combines movement\, sound\, visual arts\, and perfor
 mance to delve into the subconscious\, textures\, tones\, and subtle sensa
 tions of human nature and the natural world.\nThis workshop is a unique op
 portunity for participants to reconnect with their bodies\, engage in soma
 tic exploration\, and open themselves to the deep\, ancestral wisdom embed
 ded in the body’s movement.\nImportant Information:\n\n\n 	Date and Time
