Workshop | Mohammadreza Akrami — Tectonic plates

OBJECTIVE

This is a workshop based on Noguchi Taiso and Butoh.

In this workshop, we do not convey any fixed form or technique, but the principles that form the basis of movement (spiral, wave, gravity, emotion, etc.) as well as imagination. We will focus on everyday movements like standing and walking, as well as on emotional forms of expression. We will establish a basis that will enable us to exchange conventional patterns of movement for fresh approaches that will help us to move more easily.

CONTENT

We start each day with Noguchi Taiso exercises to bring the body to “zero form”, understanding the structure of our bodies, and becoming the structure of our bodies. We proceed to practice Butoh with the introduction of imagery, improvisation, structured improvisation, etc.
