Resonance body

 

Resonance body

 

The deepest beauty appears in the resonance of Life.

Sometimes, we experience that an unexpected, beautiful resonance happens in our Life. We don't know what happens, but we notice that our Life is deeply moved by it.

I could not explain very well what the resonance body is, for a long year.

The subbody is the subconscious body, and cobody is resonating subbody, this was the normal explanation about subbody and cobody. I have researched the subbody and cobody for many long years, the relationship between subbody and cobody is a deep mystery and unsolved secret for me.

Just recently, 2019 we could find that Subbody=Cobody because the border disappears in the Non-dual subconscious realm. And all co-researchers transformed into a big creature named Subbody=Cobody, they moved from Himalaya to Europe with growing to Nomadic Rhizome, performed at various places.

What is this phenomenon?  I surprised at their sudden transformation. It was a moment that my long dream came true.

 

A miracle of Life resonance

 

There is no subject and no object in the resonance.

It happens transparently as one resonance among subbody and cobody. It happens when dancers can stop the ego and self on the stage. This is the miracle that I wanted to see for many years.

To become one is the most important thing for the theater. If each dancer could show an excellent technique, but the stage cannot become one, then the theater is just cold.

Before, yes, sometimes the theater crystallized into oneness, such as during Hijikata's Butoh theater. But it was dependent on an excellent choreographer's direction and managing ability. It is the first time that I saw Life resonance amongst dancers happen without a special choreographer. Even though they are in an embryo state, I love to meet it for long years.

 

 

 

World Co-creations

 

This is the Rhizome

Rhizome is an image of a future human after we are released from the modern human state which is bound by Ego, Self and the Power of the nation-state.

Rhizome is able to connect flexibly and separate freely in any kind of resonance pattern.

We need to take off the binds of Ego, Self, and Power and become Life which has infinite resonativity (resonance ability) beyond borders.

This is a novel experiment in the Subbody Resonance Butoh School Himalaya.

Students invent many kinds of behind world as subbody=cobody with unique shape and process.

Especially, boxed cobody or bottom cobody, chimera cobody, various swarm, forest, stone garden, dismal air, and so on. This is the richest condition for opening the infinite creativity of Life. If there is a tendency to not resonate well with any cobody, we can research by ourselves in the abyss of subbody.

The Flower, Mystery, Secret of Life and the necessary subbody=cobody for survival bloomed in this process.

This was necessary to enter the unexplored Butoh realm of "Sick Dancing Princess" of Tatsumi Hijikata. We will continue to investigate and deepen it all over the world.

 

 

Nomad Rhizome

 

Nomad Rhizome is a unique style of Subbody=Cobody Resonance Butoh that transforms the pattern of resonance between members in different ways. While separating and linking freely, they can go dancing in changing locations.

As we experience this dynamic Life Resonance process by the whole body, we can take off the daily patterns of 'modern human' trapped in Ego, Self and Power system inevitably.

This was developed during 1995-2013, at Japan, Thailand, Hungary, France, Netherlands, Switzerland, Greece, USA, Venezuela, and at various landscapes in Himalayan mountains and Delhi. It's a novel way of Life for us in the future.

 

Dancers can co-create a world by resonance

In the second week of August intensive course, we learned Hijikata's Bugs walk.

Dancers can create a world together flexibly with resonance.

It is an incredibly wonderful thing. No another genre of art can do this.

Subbody Butoh dancers are pioneers of how to create a Utopia by life resonance. Our experiments of co-creating a world will be a resource for the future system of human society.

My work is to bring students up to become the same level of super-creators as Hijikata.

 

Resocracy: a method for co-creating a world

Now, we have a method to co-create a world through life resonance, without any force, control, argument, and direction, though it is only the beginning.

We call it "Resocracy" instead of the fake system of Democracy, we need to invent it for the future.

In the summer intensive workshop, we concentrate on Life resonance.

Every day we start with the breath of Life and feel our lives are resonating with multi-dimensional Qualia, gravity, levity, temperature, moisture, air pressure, sound, light, and so on.

Not only these physical Qualia, But Life also resonates with inner Qualia; memories, dreams, imaginations, illusions, and so on at the same time.

We need to stop the rough daily mind and body because these inner Qualia are much subtler than physical Qualia.

When we enter the subbody mode, we can feel the subtle resonance. We continue listening to the darkness of the body, catching subtle signals, and following it, amplifying it to each Subbody’s movement. And free resonance between each other's creation.

We have almost found the method, as the following;

 

 

 

 

1. Medimotion conditioning

Medimotion conditioning is the essence of the subbody=cobody method. We continue it every day in different ways so that all co-researchers can get it as own pleasure.

 

2. Becoming

The second stage is to open resonativity (resonance ability) to various Qualia; gravity, levity, warmth, coldness, fluidity, solidity, vaporing and so on. They are to become everything; the gas, stone, liquid, creature, hidden characters, archetypes, and so on.

 

3. Finding own Qualia

Each student meets various Qualia in the darkness of the body. When one follows it, one can become something. Through this self-research, each student gets own unique Qualia.

 

4. Sharing each own Qualia together

Through the <Qualia Share> everybody is able to share each unique Qualia.

Each one initiates own Qualia and the others follow and promote it. In this way, we can co-create interesting Jo-H-Kyu without a choreographer or director.  Releasing form the old hierarchical system, Life can open full creativity.

 

5. Find the best Jo-H-Kyu of total creation

We keep transparency during the co-creation that half focus on co-creation and half carry your secret. When you find the best timing of subbody solo, at any time you can separate from cobody to dance it and connect flexible again.

Each of our lives has a unique experience with or against the world. Such as that of some pressure, bind, strict, struggles, trauma, and so on. If we find own dance with or against a world, it must be a necessary dance for Life. Each one tries to listen to the total Jo-Ha-Kyu of timing and spacing for the novel co-creation.

These experiments become a very rich treasure for resocracy, in which we create a world together through Life resonance.

This is a novel exciting experience as Life released from the existing way of choreography. You can experience how your Life starts shining for the first time in your life.
