BUTOH DANCE AND BODY TRAINING WORKSHOP
In Sicilian Termal Baths Center with natual open air rock baths.
Acqua Pia - Montevago (AG)

5/6/7 March
The seminar is intended not only for dancers, but also to all those who wish to explore and experiment the art of physical/emotive movement.

By working with respiration, yoga, the Michizo Nouguchi technique and elements of Shiatsu, one tries to attain a state of awareness and of relaxation: listening to one's body. The use of certain "objects" will allow the realization of a series of exercises specially designed for this method. The energy flows, for a necessary relaxation, tension and power of movement. Further work on energy and physical patterns will bring forth the first elements of dance, which will be worked on together and in small groups.

Improvisation, interaction; Butoh brings about the developing of one's own dance by entering deep into the "imaginary" and by reflecting on "inner landscapes".



The course will take place at the Acqua Pia Thermal Centre, immersed in the natural beauty of the Valle del Belice. So for four days the participators will be able to make use of the swimming pool and the hot open-air baths, while being able to enjoy doing a psycho/physical activity alternating with beneficial relaxing baths (included in the adhesion price).

The facility also offers the possibility of special treatments, like massages, mud-therapy and others, which are not included however in the seminar's cost.
