About
Kokoro Dance Butoh Workshop
Monday 3 July, 6.30-8.30pm
Siobhan Davies Studios: Roof Studio
In celebration of Kokoro Dance’s collaboration with Jonathan Baldock in his current exhibition, CGP London are thrilled to host Vancouver’s Kokoro Dance for a series of special performances and partnerships across London this July.
Join us at Siobhan Davies Studios for the rare opportunity to participate in a unique dance workshop organised by Kokoro Dance.
After a physical warm up and introduction of the butoh approach to dance, Kokoro Dance directors Barbara Bourget and Jay Hirabayashi will introduce the way butoh uses interior imagery to inform physical movement by teaching some of the choreography from ( ), the dance work that the company will perform on 4 July at Bold Tendencies in South East London.
Established in Vancouver in 1986, Kokoro Dance are one of the worlds’ leading butoh dance companies, touring their productions internationally, led by its founders Barbara Bourget and Jay Hirabayashi.
Butoh is a modern Japanese dance, an artistic aesthetic searching for one’s own original movement expression. Kokoro Dance’s butoh is distinct and unique. It uses motion to express emotion, to create journeys that speak from the bodies of the dancers to the bodies of the audiences.
