What if by collapsing, utopia would seep out of our bodies? What if the nameless knowing of the imaginal field lingers in the dust? Butoh dance was a visceral response to Japan’s post-apocalyptic landscape. ‘Butoh Mutations’ is a practice of unfolding new facets of Butoh’s visceral revolt, to face contemporary large-scale collapse. Over 4 weeks, Dominique will introduce Butoh’s rich history by focusing on embodying collapse. By learning to linger in the interstices of our fears, we weave the matrix of our revolt to the times we’re living in and see what emerges. If we listen to the dust, and finetune our attention can it guide us into dances of ‘being reborn again and again…’? Classes start with a release warm-up combining Japanese somatic practices, moving into dance improvisations in solo, duos and groups.

Dominique-Savitri Bonarjee
Dominique-Savitri is an artist, writer, educator. Her life and art cohere around a perpetual inquiry into the water body as source of intuition. She creates immersive experiences, combining choreography, sound, and visual elements, to remember (unknown) knowing. She researches dance and movement in ancient wisdom traditions to create ritual actions for our era of collapse. Dance for her is a ‘rebellion of the body’ through which to reclaim time as embodied, with water as the guiding principle.

The teacher is really professional and humorous. I have learned a lot of history and culture that I have never touched. It is worth &ldquo;everyone has their own cage, even if they can&rsquo;t break free, they have to try to escape the dilemma and get free.&rdquo;

美好的你看世界

After watching the Buckingham Palace changing ceremony, we arrived at Westminster Abbey. There were a lot of people in the queue, about an hour and a half before entering the church. There is a interpreter at the door, you can choose Chinese. Follow the team and the interpreter is also explained. My favorite is the Matisse-style painting window. The staff in the church is very high quality and the temperament is very good, which is awe-inspiring.

Buckingham Palace is a must-visit for history lovers, featuring stunning architecture and beautiful gardens. The official residence of the British monarch, it dates back to 1703 and serves as the venue for royal ceremonies and events. Visitors can enjoy a glimpse into royal life, with the Changing of the Guard being a popular attraction.

Anonymous User

The London Eye, full name British Airways London Eye, is located on the banks of the Thames in London, England. It is the world&#39;s first and as of 2005 the largest observation wheel. It is one of London&#39;s landmarks and famous tourist attractions.

Windsor Castle

The Queen&#39;s favorite palace is very luxurious, but it is not allowed to take pictures. It can only be taken outside. When entering, a photo was taken and was stopped by the staff. Knowing the life of the royal family, Windsor Castle is generally very quiet.
