With Zazie Tobey

6-week series: Sundays, June 1 - July 13, 1:00-3:00pm. No class June 15.
Attend one or more!

Please join Zazie Tobey for a 6-week butoh and Noguchi taiso movement series. Butoh was created in 1959 by Tatsu Hijikata and Kazuo Ohno and is an avant garde dance form that is rich in imagination. Noguchi is a form of gymnastics based on moving like water using your own body weight and little to no muscle. In this workshop we warm up our bodies with the basic fundamentals of Noguchi taiso, and end class by exploring Zazie’s first hand experience of butoh imagery and improvisation. These workshops will build on each other and become more challenging as we progress. 

We will immerse ourselves in the world of butoh fu and will be guided by imagery and visceral awareness. Be ready to move in ways you have never before and find your own true dance. 

No prior dance/ butoh experience necessary 

Cost: $20-30 per class; $115-165 for the 6-week series, sliding scale. Email Zazie to register: tobeye413@gmail.com. Payments can be made with Venmo: @Zazie-Tobey
