For anyone interested in Performance/Dance/bodymovement/Drama therapy/psychology, or simply having a completely new experience
'You' are a dynamic system that is more than just body and mind. You need to understand the system as a whole.
This workshop will help understanding the system through body movements based on Butoh and other Japanese physical exercise. You might realise something new about yourself and the world through bodily experience rather than intellectual knowledge. You might realise existence of your body, joy, madness, or reality.
