Ko Murobushi is one of the best known and most acclaimed Butoh artists in the world and is recognized in Japan as a leading inheritor of Tatsumi Hijikata’s original vision of Butoh. He trained and performed with Hijikata from 1969, and later briefly gave up dance and trained as a yamabushi (an ascetic mountain monk). Once back into society he founded the Butoh Group DAIRAKUDAKAN. He created the Butoh-magazine Hageshii Kisetsu (Violent Season) and founded a female Butoh Company ARIADONE for which he choreographed a number of pieces. Two years later he founded an all-male Butoh-group: SEBI. He also created his unit Ko&Edge Co. with three young Japanese dancers, with whom he presented Handsome Blue Sky at the JADE 2003 Hijikata Memorial in Japan. Currently based in Tokyo, Ko continues to tour internationally throughout Europe and South America.

- Awareness of consciousness, gravity and internal rhythm
- Strength and body fluidity
- Internal openness and energy flow
Classes are donation based, please contribute what you can, nobody will be keeping track of individual donations. But if you are in a position to donate it will be greatly appreciated. Yet online registration is required and you can do so in advance at LEIMAY.org or upon arrival.

Location:
Williamsburg, Brooklyn,

United States of America
United States of America
This LEIMAY Ludus Lab will introduce the SU-EN Butoh Method, which aims to create a dancing and a performing body. The body is de-constructed and re-defined. The challenges of body and space present new possibilities. The SU-EN Butoh Method introduces Body Materials as both a very demanding challenge for developing a butoh body and as highly artistic tools for stage performance and choreographic structures. This method does not aim to examine therapeutic processes or self-exploration. No previous dance training is necessary but participants need to be in good physical and mental health.
Dates: October 28th – October 30th
Times: 6pm – 9pm
Price: $130 Non-Member / $126 Conectom Member / $117 Program Member plus processing fee.
SU-EN’s work is based on the Hijikata/Ashikawa Method, which was developed further in the TOMOE SHIZUNE & HAKUTOBO group. SU-EN was a founder member of the student group GNOME for five years, where Yoko Ashikawa choreographed, and trained as an apprentice under Tomoe Shizune. She is the artistic director and choreographer of SU-EN Butoh Company, based in Sweden.
