Butoh transmitted from Life to Life

What is "Butoh called by the name of Life" that Tatsumi Hijikata left behind like a will?
I've been exploring it for over 20 years as my life work. This year, I fought and struggled to overturn the subbody method because it was still bound by the dualistic constraints so far. At last, something like a subtle light came into sight.
Butoh of Life is nothing but Butoh that is directly transmitted from Life to the Life.
And for that, a dancer should take off "the common belief of human" and try to become Life. There is nothing other than to dance the inevitable things. If we can dance the most important thing for Life, at that time the Butoh that is transmitted directly from Life to Life would emerge.

 

There is a special important Qualia to focus to listen to

It is Qualia that your Life could not resonate well.

Remember the Qualia that is hard to resonate well in your life.

Most are dissociated and cannot be remembered.

Among the things that you cannot remember, there is the most important thing to dance.

They may be lurking in forgotten dreams, imagination, and delusions.

Remember them desperately.

And continue to dance it.

I have been focusing on it for decades. It was so hard to encounter those Qualia that have been dissociated by Ego and Self-organization.

 

Why the Qualia that cannot resonate well is important?

Because the secret of the birth of each subbody=cobody is hidden in that Qualia. Everyone is born and grows up as a "human", everything that could not fit into that Self-organization successfully was dissociated from self and submerged in the bottom of the darkness of the subconscious body.

If we explore the Qualia that could not resonate well with this world, we can inevitably encounter the secret of occurrence of subbody=cobody, and the secret of how consciousness, subconscious and unconsciousness had to be separated.

It is a treasure house where the mystery and secret of Ego, Self, Subbody=cobody, and Life lurk.

The secret of why we must live by being captured by unknown something is hidden. If we do not solve the mystery, we cannot be freed from the prisoners of the Ego and Self. Just dancing it and continuing to transform it into unique creation is the way to release from it. It is a narrow and steep road, but this road is worthy to try.

The Butoh of Life is to connect your Life trying to follow its path at the risk of Life, with other Life through Life resonance.

About “the Qualia that cannot resonate well”, Tatsumi Hijikata called “Kan”. We learn it in chapter 9 Butoh-fu.

 

 

What is the Life Resonance Art?

 

The Subbody method is developing to open the possibility that everyone can participate not only in Butoh dance but also for all genres Arts; visual art, music, installation, literature, bodywork, and so on.
We named it <Life Resonance Art>.
Let's join in it, and let you reborn as a unique artist who opens the creativity, originality, and resonativity (resonance ability) of Life.

 

Let’s become Life as the Subbody=Cobody Rhizome

We researched the following question in the Himalayas: “What is the next form after the modern human who is bound by the selfish mind?”
How can we develop the transparent mind-body which keeps consciousness and subconsciousness half and half equally? How can we be transparent between the body and mind?
We call this future form of the human as the “Subbody=Cobody Rhizome”. Subbody=Cobody is coming out of their unique shapes here slowly, even though they are still in the germination stage. 

Open multi-dimensional resonance

When you enter into the darkness of the body, you will find that it has no borders and that many dimensions are connected to each other in complicated ways. Your Subbody=Cobody lives there. Even sometimes they appear as very strange dark shapes or ugly forms. Do not worry. To judge them as the “dark”, “ugly” is only belong in the daily dualistic world.

Butoh is a special art to shift everything of Life to a novel beauty beyond the poor dualistic judgment. Nobody judges and denies them in Life, contrary to the dualistic judgment of daily human society.

Enjoy them. Taste the diversity. And become a friend! Then you can get a free passport to travel in the subconscious world. You can open your potential infinite creativity, originality, and resonativity (resonance ability) of Life fully.

 

 

Subbody Drawing to Life Resonance Art

 

We have experimented Subbody Drawing for 20 years. It is we medimote enough and draw inner Qualia stream on a paper, and <Drawing share> that we resonated with friend’s drawing through the eight channels. It is slowly fruiting old subbody’s Fine Art.

Above left is Devanjalee’s recent drawing. She is every year continue to deepen. Subbody drawing is able to develop to an Art therapy work. I hope some hearty person can develop painting and dance classes for children or adult.

 

 

To the Installation

 

In Geneva, old students Sebastian, Aymon and cobody created an Installation, “Bamboo Nest” 2017, and it is developing every year, now the Bamboo Nest grow up to a famous spot to play, recreate, and place for the various event, performance and so on. Geneva city continued to support it. This is the first experiment that subbody method expands to another Art genre.

 

To the Literature genre, too

 

Dan sent us a Novel, "Recovery/Trauma".

Dan was a co-research in the first semester of 2019, he has struggled

with his Trauma and performed deeply. Now he could shift it into Language channel, and succeed. I'm so happy this is the first

achievement to expand literature genre. He is going to publish it, will be informed soon. Please read it!

 

These samples are proofing us that all kinds of Art genre are crystallized from non-dual Qualia to each channel. We can proceed with the Life Resonance Art project with confidence.
