Upcoming Events
Facilitating Butoh/Contact Improvisation Workshops
May/June dates to be announced soon!
This series of open sessions will act as an inquiry into the ways in which we can approach contact improvisation from a butoh lens. Grounded in the notions of the body as water vessels, these sessions will act as a supportive movement practice that engages a deep sense of listening-prioritizing care, slowness, and awareness of gravity in moments of contact. Each session will be distinct and informed by those present.
The flow will look something like this: arrival/grounding, several guided exercises with images/textures, open jam/improvisation, and a closing. No prior experience with butoh or contact improvisation is necessary.
Donation based- suggested sliding scale of $5-15. Please pre-register with the link below. Walk-ins are welcome as well.


Teaching Open Butoh Class: COALESCENCE
for New York Butoh Institute/Vangeline Theater
Sunday, June 8 from 5-7 pm
115 Wooster Street
New York, NY 10012
Drawing upon personal performance practice and eco-somatics, these classes will explore butoh rooted in ephemerality, memory and collective consciousness. Through visuals of transience and disappearance the body will expand upon itself guided by reaching towards past selves, situated through the sensorial breath individually and collectively. As we travel through time, we evade it. Come join and explore this methodology with any level of experience.
