Warped and Reverse warp

 

Warped and Reverse warp

 

      The spontaneous response

Remember the spontaneous turn over in your sleep, from tiny twitch to big posture change. 
These are the natural somatic response to adjust your body from uncomfortable condition to a comfortable position. The cellular lives adjust themselves with changing their resonance pattern among cells of the whole body. 

 

      Being Warped

Imagine that each part of your body is a cubic shape, and one of them is warped by an unknown power, with a different direction, size, strength, speed, and rhythm. 

 

      Reverse warp

Amplify the warped transformation to the maximum; your life must response it with reverse warping against the warped transformation. Life response it always reverses warp. 

 

      Human walk to humanoid walk

Start a human walk which is the same shape with a normal daily walk but with minimum speed. A part of your body is warped slightly by unknown force with giving a subtle change in your human walk. Continue it with spreading to various part of your body. Sometimes your body may respond with natural reverse warp. Your body becomes a system error humanoid robot.
Your eyes become video camera eye, everything reflected on your eye but without resonance. 
Your nerves are stolen when you noticed it. Also, the eyes start system errors. You watch everything without resonance. 
It is not rare in the contemporary world; you can meet many humanoids on the street of the city. 
Polish your humanoid body day by day. The work will be connected with the question; "What is the contemporary world?”, "What makes people into humanoid without resonance?" 
Walk with your own humanoid walk toward the world. Your walk becomes a mirror of the contemporary world. 
Research the novelist sequence and combination for your life. 

 

      Weakened body

Sometimes the warped has developed beyond the limit of reverse warp. Your body has been fixed in the warped shape without

plasticity. This is the weakened body. Also, many bodies are

collapsed in the contemporary world by pollution, by job, war, and

so on. Hijikata collected these collapsed bodies as the teachers for

the weakened body to open universal resonance ability. To cultivate infinite resonativity (resonance ability) with handicapped people, diseased people, insane people, crime people, and dead people. We need to change the world which all people can live with resonance without elimination. Walk as a weakened body, warped body. Ask the people without words "Why did you lose your resonance ability with collapsed people and weakened people?"
Find your own weakened body, and invent the way to survive with the weakened body. 

 

      Create your own transition

Try this exercise among the various method of walking with creating variously warped and reverse warp; ash walk, nest walk, stone walk, mountain walk, puppet walk, human walk, humanoid walk, origin walk. Animal crawl, starfish roll, ameba roll, water body, vaporized body and so on. Invent your own warped transition or collapsed transformation among the various way of moving.
Become rhizome which can survive with changing into any kinds of the miserable body to ugly body. 
This is the essence of weakened body Butoh which can be called as "The Butoh of Life".
