Humans and all the universe, animate and inanimate objects, are made of the same fabric and influence each other at all time.
In most eastern and native traditions, body and mind are a whole. Not only this, but body, mind and nature are one unit. We are who we are as one with what surrounds us: we pass through the world and the world passes through us. Imprinting on each other.
I am all that surrounds me: nature and every other being. And in Butoh that is what we dance: the “becoming-other” through embodying images of the world.
Butoh and Shinto are also very interested in the “unusual” things. The imperfect things – the wabi-sabi. The imperfect is believed to have sacred qualities. In Butoh, the different is welcome: the crooked, flawed, broken, ugly…
J’ai découvert d’autres facettes de ma petite soeur. La force, le courage et la résilience avec lesquelles tu transformes ton épreuve m’impressionnent. La danse trouve des chemins insoupçonnés, bravo à toi de continuer à les trouver.

Bravo petite sœur, c’est touchant de te voir évoluer artistiquement à travers cette épreuve. Célébrons tous les corps par la danse !!!
Thank you for such a beautiful blog. Genevieve. It brought tears of relating and of gratitude for a life of movement. I so appreciate your exercises and reminders of how simple it can be to find moments in a busy day for expressing myself through movement and earthing. ~ Holly Bright
