Podcasts about Butoh

V této inspirativní epizodě podcastu Srdeční záležitosti si povídáme s výjimečnou ženou Michaelou „Mikou“ Neumann. Společně otevíráme témata svobody, jemnosti, práce s tělem a mysli skrze přístup Trager, ale i spirituálních rituálů v Mexiku, kde Mika dnes žije. Dozvíš se: Co je metoda Trager a jak ovlivňuje tělo i mysl. Jak Mika pracuje s klientkami online i na dálku. Jak vypadá její život v Mexiku. Proč je jemnost revoluční přístup i pro ženy podnikatelky. Co je sluneční tanec a jak může změnit tvé vnímání těla a reality. Mika říká: "Od nepaměti mě zajímá lidství a porozumění světu. Fascinuje mě koncept osvícení, který se stal mou životní cestou. Na svých osobních i pracovních cestách napříč kontinenty - od Asie až po Ameriku - zkoumám žitou spiritualitu odlišných kultur (Advaita, Kašmírský tantrismus, Budhismus, šamanismus skrze Sun Dance atd.). Je mi blízká pozitivní psychologie, zejména její důraz na hledání a budování vnitřních zdrojů pro spokojený život. Miluji volný tanec (5 rytmů, Butoh, Amerta, Tandava ...). Vystudovala jsem psychologii, psychoterapii a Trager Approach – Body/Mind Integration (propojení těla a mysli). K tomu jsem během více než 30 let nasbírala zkušenosti z celé řady seberozvojových směrů. To vše se promítá do mého individuálního přístupu ke klientům. Působím jako Mentorka Vědomé Transformace, převážně v online prostředí. Osobně dávám sezení zaměřená na práci s tělem a myslí skrze Trager Approach. Nabízím programy, které vedou k hlubšímu kontaktu se sebou samým – cestou jednoduchosti, jemnosti, lehkosti, respektu a bytí v přítomném okamžiku. Miluji i individuální provázení či retreaty, nejen v Česku, ale i v Mexiku, kde teď žiji. Jsem mámou dvou dospělých dcer a babičkou úžasného vnuka." Už letí k vašim uším!

Recorded on September 5, 2025, against the quiet magic of late-summer Berlin, this episode captures the culmination of a five-day Butoh workshop led by Vangeline at Schott Acting Studio.In this intimate episode, 28 participants — many stepping into Butoh for the very first time — share what they discovered in the space we created together. Their reflections return again and again to themes of pleasure, safety, intimacy, connection, dissolving trauma, and the discipline of technique as a vessel for transformation — the true heartbeat of the workshop.Thanks to the exquisite photography and meticulous documentation by Shahryar Shahamat, this episode becomes both an audio and visual documentary, inviting you to step behind the curtain and witness the evolution of the workshop.Special thanks to Shahryar for his artistry in photography, video, and sound editing, which made this episode possible. Many thanks as well to all 28 participants for their generosity in being photographed, filmed, and for sharing their voices so openly.

Listen to the conversation between dancers and audience members after an informal Butoh performance that took place on July 5th, 2025, in Soho, New York, following a 5-day Butoh workshop in New York led by Vangeline.

Amidst the profound social change and political turmoil of post-war Japan, a bold generation of avant-garde artists and photographers emerged in the 1960s, forever transforming the global art landscape. Japanese Avant-Garde Pioneers' director Amélie Ravalec attended the Dutch premiere at De Balie in Amsterdam to talk about the film with our cinema curator Stefan Malešević. Watch the film screening of Japanese Avant-Garde Pioneers until June 23, exclusively at De Balie.The 1960s era in Japan was a time of profound social change, political unrest and student protests. The turbulent times of the postwar era inspired an artistic explosion in Japan, with the emergence of a revolutionary scene of avant-garde artists who pioneered many disciplines: experimental and erotic photography, “Angura” theatre and underground street performances, apocalyptic Butoh dance, surreal illustrations and seminal graphic design.A new aesthetic of photography was born: “Are, Bure, Boke” (rough, dark and out of focus), pioneered by Moriyama Daidō and the Provoke magazine photographers. Araki beautified bondage and Hosoe Eikoh sublimated the male body. Ishiuchi Miyako captured her experience of American military bases. Kawada Kikuji's era-defining photobook The Map captured the poignancy of Hiroshima's trauma.Master of underground theatre Terayama Shūji produced countless magical, surreal and vividly colourful films, plays and photobooks, Yokoo Tadanori and Awazu Kiyoshi revolutionised graphic design with their incandescent theatre posters, Tanaami Keiichi, Japan's answer to Andy Warhol, developed his unique kaleidoscopic vision of Pop-Art, and Butoh founders Hijikata Tatsumi and Ohno Kazuo impacted modern dance forever with their dance of darkness and light.Watch the official trailer here.Get your tickets for the film screening at De Balie here.Intro music: Andrii Poradovskyi---Want to know more about Forum on European Culture?

The Body as a Vessel: Conversation with Butoh dancer Genevieve Jencson and students in Cleveland, Ohio after a 3-day Butoh workshop led by Vangeline.Recorded in Cleveland on April 27, 2025.https://www.instagram.com/genevieve_violet/

“Tutte le cose sono nate da un solo fuoco” affermano i frammenti degli Oracoli caldaici. Elios, Ἠλιος in greco omerico, è il dio del Sole, spesso raffigurato con una corona raggiante, che guida un carro trainato da cavalli nel cielo. Nell'alto del cielo, Elios tutto osserva e tutto conosce, persino il ratto di Persefone non riesce a celarsi al suo sguardo onnisciente.Come scrive Macrobio nei Saturnali: “Se il Sole, secondo l'opinione degli antichi, detiene e governa tutte le altre stelle e le presiede solo nel movimento dei pianeti, e se è vero che le stelle con le loro orbite regolano l'ordine degli eventi umani, dobbiamo necessariamente considerare il Sole come supremo governatore del nostro destino: l'origine di tutto ciò che accade intorno a noi.”In effetti, senza lo splendore della danza del Sole, non solo non ci sarebbe luce per il nostro pianeta, ma non si sarebbe nemmeno potuto formare il sistema solare. Il Sole è al centro della nostra esperienza del ritmo dell'esistenza. Distingue il giorno della notte, porta a maturazione i frutti della terra, controlla il ciclo delle stagioni, contribuisce al ciclo dell'acqua. Possiamo affermare con certezza che tutto quello che accade sul pianeta Terra dipende dalla sua posizione rispetto alla stella che noi chiamiamo Sole.Ti invito a guardare il trailer del mio film Spring of a Dancer e a leggere il mio nuovo libro Primavera di un danzatore su Amazon Libri. 

Chiedersi che senso ha danzare oggi è una delle domande che mi stanno a cuore da quando ho cominciato a occuparmi di danza. Come la danza butoh ci invita a dissacrare le convenzioni e a perlustrare i territori che mettono in discussione i confini tra maschile e femminile, vita e morte, grazia e volgarità; così il pensiero filosofico ci invita a mettere in questione le nostre credenze, predisponendoci al gusto per la domanda e per la critica, piuttosto che accontentarci delle risposte che siamo in grado di fornire oggi o che ci consegnano i nostri antenati.La filosofia ci invita a scostare i veli delle apparenze per dedicarci al senso incontrovertibile della verità, senza mai stancarsi di criticare sé stessa e arrivando quindi a mettere in discussione il senso stesso dell'incontrovertibile. Solo la filosofia, infatti, si pone la domanda sulla verità e continua incessantemente il suo esercizio critico, senza accontentarsi mai delle risposte che man mano emergono da questa ricerca.Per non rimanere imprigionati nel nostro piccolo mondo, la danza butoh e la filosofia ci chiamano a oltrepassarci e a porci quelle domande fondamentali che i nostri antenati si sono posti sin dai tempi della caverna: chi siamo, da dove veniamo, dove andiamo?Ti invito anche a guardare anche il trailer del mio film Spring of a Dancer e a leggere il mio nuovo libro Primavera di un danzatore su Amazon Libri. 

We meet Irish screen and theatre actor Stephen Rea, who talks about meeting Samuel Beckett early in his career. Rea so wanted to perform Beckett's play Krapp's Last Tape, he had the foresight to record his youthful self reading it. In his new production at Adelaide Festival, the audience gets to hear those recordings.We head Back Stage to the hat maker's studio! In fiction there are lots of characters who are famous for their hats. Robin Hood. Sherlock Holmes.  Lady Bracknell (she needs a ridiculous hat). In our new series Back Stage, Michael meets theatre milliner Phillip Rhodes, who reveals how hats bring a character to life. Butoh is a dance form that started in Japan in the 1950s and was called 'the dance of darkness'. Dancers often wear white body paint and explore raw psychological states. But it can also be outrageous and funny, as veteran performer Yumi Umiumare tells us about her own life practising Butoh. Yumi's latest show is Butoh Bar: Out of Order II for Asia TOPA.

Il confine tra ciò che è vivo e ciò che è morto non è così netto. In questa terza stagione di Lettere a mia mamma ti invito a intraprendere un viaggio poetico e filosofico in cui la danza diventa il linguaggio dell'invisibile. Attraversando il dolore del lutto, ho imparato che ogni fine è già un nuovo inizio. Nessuno di noi vuole soffrire, certamente. La vita può essere difficile. Eppure, in mezzo alla tempesta, potremmo sorprenderci, rivolgendo lo sguardo oltre la nostra cornice di pelle. Come la fatica delle gemme, durante l'inverno, possiamo lasciar sbocciare una nuova danza, quando giunge la primavera. Per questo motivo, con questa nuova stagione, ti racconterò del mio nuovo progetto: primavera di un danzatore. Spero che ti colga in un momento di ispirazione. Ti invito anche a guardare anche il trailer del mio film Spring of a Dancer e a leggere il mio nuovo libro Primavera di un danzatore su Amazon Libri.

Thomas and Panu had a mindful dialog about the end of the year to new year's transition. Looking back on 2024, they noted the significance of Panu's climate emotions wheel for people new to expressing feelings about climate and environmental issues, the challenges of being seen as an expert, and the importance of taking regular breaks to appreciate our efforts and accomplishments (or what Thomas calls a “behavioral sabbath”). Looking ahead, they shared the embodied activities they each do like cross country skiing as ways to recreate and restore themselves, and taking on new creative past times like training in Butoh theater (for Panu) and drumming (for Thomas). Ultimately, they emphasized the need for seeking joy and gratitude in the face of sorrows of the world, and the importance of giving oneself and others permission to feel happiness.

This episode was recorded on December 15, 2024. in Zipolite, Mexico, as the conclusion of a 7-day Butoh immersive retreat at the Butoh Sanctuary where Vangeline guided 18 students from all over the world to create their own Butoh piece. In this episode, you can listen to each participant's experience during our final circle. This episode is both in English and Spanish with some interpretation.

In this episode recorded in Denmark, I had a conversation with actress Christine Albeck Borge and Ballet dancer and choreographer Oliver Marcus Starpov, following our week-long creative research project combining Butoh, theater, and dance, with also director Liv Helm. Here is our reflection on the interaction of Butoh, dance, and theater. https://www.instagram.com/allmyfriendsaresuperheroes/ https://www.instagram.com/christinealbeck/ @livhelm

A couple weeks ago I heard a sound near our back screendoor, as if an animal were wrestling with a large bag of cat food. I assumed my cat Sasha was trying to break into her bag of treats, and noted the sound but didn't respond right away.A few minutes later, the sound long faded, I went to check on Sasha to see how far she got with trying to claw her way into her treat bag. As I approached the backdoor I did not find Sasha, nor a clawed open bag of treats. Our screen door was open to the size of Sasha, outside her large bag of cat food lay open on the porch stairs. As I stood, stunned at the sight of a catless night—Sasha whipped around the backyard chasing something that remained in the shadows, her tail puffed out to the size of a racoon's tail.I have been thinking about wanting. Hunger. The pull of a certain kind of desire to grasp for, reach out for…something else. This energy often creeps up the stairs of my body from somewhere in the dark and before I even realize it my hand is holding my phone, or reading news headlines, or I'm fixing myself a snack or another cup of coffee.This time of year wanting seems heightened.Something about the seasons turning deeper into autumn. Trees shedding leaves as the sun looms lower in the fading day-lit sky.The animal in us is preparing to hibernate. The hungry heart is trying to find nourishment. The pull to nourish, to find safety— in the midst of an uncertain world heightened by a polarizing election, on-going war and climate instability—is completely natural. Our bodies and nervous systems seek balance.Yet what is nourishing? What is safety when the ground appears to be constantly moving? Who is the one whose hand slips up from the shadows, then vanishes back into hiding, as spirals of shame circle?You just wasted an hour scrolling. I can't believe you ate that. Wow, you pressed snooze again?  You're worthless. Unloveable. Unfit for human consumption. The shame says…When I lived at Great Vow Zen Monastery we had a practice of singing to the hungry heart. Calling to this part of us, this part of others and our world. And instead of shunning it or throwing shade on it or blaming and shaming it—we would invite a spirit of welcome, acceptance, love and understanding.The chant is called the Kanromon and was written together with Krishna Das and Bernie Glassman. Here are the words, if you would like to sing it too.Calling all you hungry hearts. Everywhere through endless time. You who wander, you who thirst.I offer you this bodhi mind. Calling all you hungry spirits. All the lost and the left behind. Calling all you hungry hearts. Everywhere through endless time. Gather round and share this meal.Your joy and your sorrow, I make it mine.It is part of a ceremony for the hungry heart, called the gate of sweet nectar. A version of this ceremony is part of the daily liturgy at Soto Zen Monasteries in Japan.It is one of the songs from our liturgy that I brought into my practice outside of the monastery walls. I sing it on walks through town, sometimes before I eat a meal, to my cat and before my altar with a stick of incense as my heart opens to the size of the world. It is a song of offering. It is a song of deep love. It's a song that lets me be lost—a song that speaks to those in the shadows. It has the power to save a ghost. To make the lonely, smile. It empowers us to hug our demons, and face the unpredictability of life in human flesh.This week I had the opportunity to facilitate and participate in three practice communities where we gathered together to welcome the hungry heart. The gatherings were simple. We sat in loving awareness and invited our hungry hearts to the table of our lives. And, through our collective attention, love and understanding the hungry part was given space to tell + show what it wants and needs, and then experience a deeper form of nourishment. The nourishment of compassionate attention and collective witnessing is powerful. When parts of us are hidden in shame, they often feel like they are the only ones who feel this way. Or that they are fundamentally wrong, or unloveable, or unworthy.To integrate the hungry heart into our lives, to invite them into the light of awareness— is healing. It's like reclaiming a piece of our nature. For in that invitation, transformation starts to happen, true nourishment becomes possible.As we head into election week, I feel it's important to remember my vows to myself and this world.I vow to create sacred spaces in this violent and beautiful world where we:* Center healing* Remember our true nature* Challenge our assumptions* Turn towards the shadow* And live as if love were the pointWhat are your vows? How do you intend to show up in this unpredictable, precarious, ever-changing experience we call human life, or the world, or america?Current OfferingsSpiritual Counseling — I practice at the confluence of spirituality and psychology, integrating mind, body and spirit. Spiritual Counseling can help you:* Companion Grief + Loss* Clarify Life Purpose* Heal Relational Conflict + Inner Conflict* Work with Shadow Material* Heal your relationship with Eating, Food or Body Image* Spiritual Emergence* Integrate Psychedelic or Mystical Experiences* Move Through Creative Blocks, Career Impasses and BurnoutIn addition to my Zen training, I am trained in Buddhist Psychology, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dream Work, Hakomi (Somatic Therapy), Process Art and Mindful Eating. My approach also has a deep Jungian influence.Astrology— I am starting to offer astrology readings. I have found astrology to be a helpful map for connecting to the more mythic unfolding of life. It can help us honor our gifts, navigate challenges, get perspective and connect with planetary allies. It can also offer guidance on the questions that arise in our lives and aid us in stepping more fully into our wholeness. I am currently offering the following types of readingsNatal Chart ReadingsAstro Counseling PackageTransit ReadingsGreat Work of Your Life ReadingMonday Night Meditation + DharmaEvery Monday 6P PT / 9P ETJoin me on zoom for 40 minutes of meditation and a dharma talk. We are currently exploring a text called The Eight Realizations of Great Beings, which gives us an opportunity to practice inquiry and embodying love as we discover our Awakened Nature together.This event is hosted by the Zen Community of Oregon. All are welcome to join. Drop in any time.Zoom Link for Monday NightSky + RoseWhat is it? An experiment in the impossible task of excluding nothing and loving everything. An alchemy of play, presence and wandering into the shadows, you could say.Sky & Rose is a practice container that will:* Center group parts work practices to explore the fluidity, span and dream of who we are - somebody, nobody, everybody. You will be invited to express yourself vocally and physically, engage your imagination and play outside habituation.* Do interpersonal and group meditation practices of seeing, being and awakening.* Directly explore emotional embodiment & shadow work* Include Beauty, Art & Wonderment as core practice elements Through rituals of imagination, meditation technologies and co-created fields of intentional play, we can slip out, for a time, of confining identities defined by our histories, culture and comfort.Delivered by these practices, we can begin to inhabit perspectives and modes of being that stretch our sense of the possible and refresh our sense of the everyday. You might find yourself wearing Luminosities face or inhabiting Laughter's chest. Together we might try out Venus's view of the very life we live or we might make space to feel Chaos's dance and shake off some rigidity.All of these are just examples of where our wondering and feeling into places of vitality and expansion may take us.We will rebel against the quotidian and respect ourselves too much to only have crumbs of the sacred!It was also be a time to work together with the challenges to living heart forward with sanity and presence within this hyper-fractured funhouse/madhouse world.Sky and Rose is a place for Jogen and i to invite you into practices and explorations of 'soul work' that are not part of the Buddhist tradition but that have nonetheless been sources of growth and joy for us. Our influences in this include Paratheatre, IFS and Voice Dialogue, Hakomi, Process Work, Butoh, Jungian dream work and more.We initiate Sky & Rose as an experiment in embracing Spirit and Soul simultaneously, together imagining and practicing interpersonal liberation, playfulness and spaciousness in this time of deep adaptation.Meets monthly on Sundays from 10:30A PT - 12:30P PT / 1:30P ET - 3:30P ETNext Session is on Dec 1I'm Amy Kisei.

This may be one of the most interesting discussions about death you may come across.

While most of us aspiring contemporary dancers will decide to undergo formal training under the foundations of Graham, Cunningham, Limon and various others, a small subset has diverted into the wondrous world of puppet theatre. One such performer, choreographer and now puppeteer is Duda Paiva. After a few more years thriving as an independent theatrical artist, he initiated the Duda Paiva Company in Amsterdam, Holland, in 2004.Duda was educated as an actor, ballet and Butoh dancer in both Brazil and Japan.

In this podcast interview, Mn. Hokyu Aronson speaks with guest instructor Vangeline about embodied movement...

This second episode focuses on Butoh, Sensitivity, Sensuality, and the Nervous System, and is an audio recording of my video lecture on the subject. This episode also explores Butoh and eroticism, the history of women in Butoh, and Feminism.

Listen to three short preambles by Vangeline recorded on each day of her last 3-day zoom workshop focusing on the art of listening in Butoh. These reflections are meant to support Butoh practitioners with their Butoh practice and give context on Butoh as an art form.

Just nu är butoh-dansaren Frauke ute på turné med Riksteatern med föreställningen Pearl, där en kvinna som tappat sin balans reser genom sinne efter sinne. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ”Pearl” handlar om dold skönhet, säger Caroline Lundblad, dansare och koreograf som varit många år i Kyoto i Japan. Butoh är en japansk performancekonstart som uppstod i slutet av 50-talet, ofta vitsminkade dansare som rör sig extremt kontrollerat och långsamt. ”När jag går upp på scenen blir jag Frauke”, säger hon, och de olika kostymerna som illustrerar olika sinnen förstärker dansen, ger mig olika siluetter och motstånd.Katarina Wikars har följt Frauke sedan hon såg henne dansa på komposthögarna vid kolonilotterna vid Årstaviken en höstkväll för många år sedan, vitsminkad med blicken vänd inåt blåste hon gurkmeja ut som kryddmoln bland löven.Butoh är kroppens poesi, säger Caroline Lundblad, som nu går i lära hos en noh-mästare i Kyoto, en teaterform som gestalter andeväsen. Man låter något annat ta plats i kroppen, säger hon.Musiken i föreställningen ”Pearl” är gjord av Daniel Troberg.

La death education promuove percorsi di riflessione sulla morte sul morire per elaborare il lutto e la morte in modo consapevole. È un campo di studio interdisciplinare che si concentra sull'educazione e sulla sensibilizzazione riguardo alla morte, al morire e al lutto, con lo scopo di fornire agli individui una comprensione più approfondita di questi temi, aiutandoli ad affrontarli in modo più consapevole. Ciò che propongo con i miei workshop è sperimentare laboratori di death education attraverso la danza butō e il mio metodo FÜYA. Trovo suggestivo riportare la poetica e la pratica della danza butō al momento della nostra morte. Come sarebbe trascorrere il nostro “ultimo momento” con una danza? Come sarebbe fare del nostro “ultimo respiro” il volo dell'ultima foglia d'autunno? Come sarebbe disegnare con il nostro corpo quell'ultima forma insegnata dalla danza butō, facendo come se fossimo un fiore che sboccia? Come sarebbe aprire il nostro “ultimo sguardo” su questo mondo come se stessimo spalancando una finestra sull'eternità? Queste sono alcune riflessioni che propongo ai miei allievi. 

Se Tatsumi Hijikata instilla nella danza butō la stessa oscurità ascetica che abbiamo descritto citando la Tachikawaryū, Kazuo Ohno propone una pratica ascetica incentrata sul potere rigenerativo della morte. Solitamente, infatti, la morte viene intesa come una cesura nella continuità della nostra esistenza mortale, ma per la danza butō la morte può essere considerata come un momento di passaggio e di trasformazione che ci conduce a una nuova vita, per mezzo di una forma diversa. Il mio maestro Atsushi Takenouchi, allievo di Tatsumi Hijikata e Yoshito Ohno, invita i danzatori a osservare i cicli delle stagioni. L'albero, quando muore, permette la nascita di altri organismi della foresta. I suoi elementi tornano in circolo e contribuiscono all'alimentazione di altre vite. Ogni morte, quindi, contribuisce alla vita, che prosegue in un costante ciclo di morti e di rinascite che si alimentano a vicenda. In questo senso, ogni vita è in debito con le morti che la precedono, perché ne è il frutto. La danza, per questi danzatori, è una preghiera di gratitudine che si rivolge verso l'eterno ciclo dell'esistenza.

Butoh originated from 1950s post-war Japanese culture and, although Mai draws on the anti-stylised fluidity and slow, controlled movement of this relatively contemporary school of dance, she also honours the very specific social context of its birth by injecting her own experimental fantasy into her performances.Mai left Brittany over thirty years ago, drawn to London by her fascination for English poetry, literature and culture, with Hackney Wick immediately becoming the base for her creative nest. It was in this eclectic and unorthodox side of urban London, her adopted city, that her soul finally found its home, where, from the moment she decided to put down roots, the contrasting sides of her expressive identity and artistic personality began to flourish.The source of Mai's inspiration fluctuates between the rebelliousness of London's punk ethos and the minimalism of her zen heritage, and, with her background in literature and a keen interest in mental health, she has created her own, unique language that precedes her and defines her. She is curious and visionary and, as such, has collaborated with artists from various disciplines, including the reggae musician Clapper Priest, the multidisciplinary Xuân Sinden, the Afro-Irish poet Grassy Noel Macken and the ambient-noise bands Ampersand and Fear of Fluffing. However, and above all else, one of her greatest achievements, has been managing to remain uncompromisingly truthful and uncomfortably relevant in a city filled with commercial art, trendy newcomers and an insanely competitive cultural scene.And now, enjoy the interview!__________Related Links: Mai Nguyen Tri: Instagram | Facebook | YouTubeFor further information about this interview, including links to anything mentioned by Mai, or to continue reading this text in Spanish, English and Italian, visit the Metralla Rosa websiteSupport the show

Per raggiungere l'illuminazione, insegnano gli sciamani, bisogna innanzitutto seppellirsi nella caverna. Infatti, si dice che, per aprire il nostro sguardo, dobbiamo chiudere gli occhi nell'oscurità della terra. Lo sciamano, come il danzatore butoh, vive a cavallo tra il mondo dei vivi e il mondo dei morti. Come gli alchimisti, gli sciamani sfidano i confini tra le cose mortali e le cose immortali. Custodendo le leggi che regolano i moti dei cieli, s'immergono in ciò che i più reputano “la fine” o, meglio, “il confine”, per tornare indietro e restituire messaggi ermetici. Per loro, l'inizio è la fine: “naturalissimum et perfectissimum opus est generare tale quale ipsum est”. Con questa meditazione alchemica, accompagnata dalle immagini dei tre uccelli alchemici (il corvo, il cigno e la fenice), comincia la seconda stagione di "Lettere a mia mamma".

Che senso ha la morte? Damiano Fina presenta Lettere a mia mamma, un libro e un podcast in cui racconta il suo percorso di elaborazione del lutto attraverso la danza e la filosofia."Quando guardiamo in faccia la morte impariamo un po' di più a vivere. Questo mi ha insegnato il lutto, ma non solo. Il dolore per la scomparsa di una persona cara è profondo, non si può nascondere e non si può annientare. Ma il dolore si può ascoltare, e allora diventa l'altro volto dell'amore, di ciò che è stato e che, non essendo più presente come lo era prima, ci manca inevitabilmente. Oggi penso che il dolore che affrontiamo quando siamo di fronte alla morte sia un'iniziazione. La morte è un'esperienza che ripristina un legame essenziale con i nostri antenati. Di fronte all'orrore per ciò che scompare ci troviamo a dover rispondere alle domande che da sempre si pone l'umanità. Da dove veniamo? Chi siamo? Dove andiamo? Grazie alla filosofia ho imparato che riflettere sul senso della morte ci permette di maturare nuove visioni per la nostra vita. Su questi spunti ho scritto il mio libro e questo podcast. Mi auguro che ti possa essere d'ispirazione e ti invito a visita il mio sito web. Buon ascolto!"

American choreographer and dancer Trajal Harrell chats to Dheepthika Laurent about his career retrospective at Paris' Festival d'Automne. They also talk about voguing, the focus of his seminal eight year project, Twenty Looks or Paris is Burning at the Judson Church, and his current field of interest: Japanese dance style Butoh.

In this captivating interview, I had the pleasure of sitting with the incredibly talented Mariko Endo, a renowned dancer and choreographer. Mariko takes us back to the early days of her career, sharing how she embarked on her path as a dancer despite starting later than most. She reveals her teenage years spent acting in local theaters in Japan and her fascination with human psychology, which eventually led her to a life-changing encounter with Butoh. Butoh, a dance form founded by three Masters in Japan, captured Mariko's heart and became her artistic calling. She explains the avant-garde nature of Butoh and its deep connection to the aftermath of World War II. Mariko's teacher, Akira Kasai, played a pivotal role in her journey, introducing her to the expressive and transformative power of Butoh. As we dive deeper into Butoh, Mariko vividly depicts the dance form's essence. She eloquently describes how Butoh is not about performing one's personal drama or grief but instead becoming an empty vessel, allowing emotions to move through the body. Mariko shares her profound understanding of the interplay between consciousness and movement, emphasizing the importance of stillness and the ability to connect with the space around us. In addition to her mastery of Butoh, Mariko has collaborated with international composers and visual artists to create mesmerizing multimedia performances. She shares her approach to collaboration, highlighting the fusion of theater, modern dance, and music in her choreography. Mariko's dedication to distilling the essence of a piece and eliminating excess elements shines through in her work, creating a powerful connection with audiences. Throughout the interview, Mariko's passion for dance and her desire to create sacred spaces through her performances are palpable. She believes in the transformative power of dance, inviting audiences to imagine, remember, and find renewal within themselves. Mariko's ultimate goal is to share joy and evoke a sense of wonder through her art. Join us on this enlightening journey as we explore the world of dance through the eyes of Mariko Endo. Prepare to be inspired and captivated by her profound insights and artistic vision. New Production: Passionate Geometries conceived by Richard Cameron-Wolf.

With ten years of deep friendship and chosen kinship, performance makers Haz Lugsdin and Sophie Strykowski embark on an intergalactic voyage to understand their interlocking selves.We all have a gravitational pull. The sun, a chair, and you. I felt that tug. Who put me here? And why are you here too?Haz Lugsdin (They/He) is a trans performer who relishes in gusto, ego and innuendo. Sophie Strykowski (She/They) is an actor and performance maker whose work sparkles fearlessly with a joyous curiosity. Together, they pastiche comedy, performance art, and unbridled joy to glimpse the life practice of world-building together.  About the Artists: Haz Lugsdin / Sophie Strykowski    Instagram - @sp0repunk_ Haz Lugsdin (they/he) is a trans performer making on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people. Haz's experience is in devised and collaborative work, rooted in comedy, pastiched with drag, performance art, movement, wordplay and absolute buggery. Haz is invested in developing non-binary ways of making that refuse rigid performance structures; as explored in their three latest 45 minute works; Rising Damp: A Sporepunk unearthing of a queer utopia at La Mama HQ (2022), The (Sour Glitch) Two-Step Refusal at The Flying Nun by Brand X (2021) and 101101001: Dude Where's My Gender at The Giant Dwarf (2020). As a writer, Haz has received mentorship with ATYP as part of National Studio (2020) and Fresh Ink (2021). Haz's work relishes in the illegible and incoherent; centering play and pleasure. He uses performance to make sense of himself and non-sense of the rest. They have a distinct modus operandi of gusto, ego, and innuendo.  Sophie Strykowski (she/they) is a performance maker and actor from Gadigal, currently living on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri Woi-Wurrung people. Their devised work reflects their positionality as a queer person, with the intention to dismantle and reimagine perceived truths with earnestness and delight.

The Pleb (2023). Her work plays with form, combining elements of movement, comedy and experimental theater to ask big questions about the self, love, sexuality and connection. Sophie brings these questions to an audience with sparkling fearlessness and joyful curiosity. ------------------------------- Charaf Tartoussi joined Queering The Air as our third and final guest artist for the Melbourne Fringe Festival.

How might we connect more deeply with the Divine via dance? What can water teach us about the flow of life? And what happens when we combine the two? On the latest episode I explore this rich topic with Venezuelan contemporary dance performer, choreographer, and teacher Juliana Mendonca. Juliana is an innovative bodyworker influenced by Latin Traditional Dances, Butoh, Contact Improvisation and Physical Theater. In particular, water has represented a very important element for her to understand herself, and Juliana has dedicated many years to creating projects and performances inspired by the element of water. These include the music and dance company Raíz de Agua, La Naciente, Drop & Drought, Sono Somatic and most recently, Liquidanza – a relaxation and dance practice based in the water. In this episode we discuss:Juliana's early, formative experiences with nature, and why they made a deeper impression on her than her experiences within the Catholic churchJuliana's journey through formal dance training and into more experimental, flowing forms of dance, such as the Japanese Butoh dance methodHer relationship with water, including what it's taught her, and how she understands it as holding feminine energy that can benefit us allHow we can all deepen our awareness and understanding of the sacred nature of waterShow Notes If you'd like to know whose ancestral tribal lands you currently reside on, you can look up your address here: https://native-land.ca/You can also visit the Coalition of Natives and Allies for more helpful educational resources about Indigenous rights and history.I'm so excited to announce the launch of the Home to Her Academy, a school dedicated to seekers of Sacred Feminine wisdom!
