17.10. Transformation: Between Earth and Sky by Yokko

Workshop: Transformation: Between Earth and Sky

Facilitator: Yokko

When: Saturday 17th October

Time: 12:00 am – 14:00 pm

The world is a playground.*

It is an invitation to listen to the hidden deep truths held within the body and outside of the body. We play with everything and anything exists between earth and sky—within and out, micro and macro. This is a ritual. We let go of things that no longer serve us in this moment of our lives, allowing ourselves to transform not only physically, but energetically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. This workshop contains Noguchi Taisoh, Butoh, Ritual movement, and several somatic movement practices. Everyone is welcome. No previous experience needed.

“Everything and Anything existing in this Universe- all creation in this whole universe,,, unless you concentrate with every single cell and nerve and fiber of your being... you cannot dance. we cannot even embody a bird, can we?” - Tatsumi Hijikata

*Playing with Shinra-Bansyo / 森羅万象 (million billion of forests spreading between earth and sky, and play with Universal phenomena)
