A leter from Brazil

 

Dear Lee,

 

How are you? How life is going in India? How is your health?

I saw that Subbody Resonance School is open again!

Wow! I miss that special place

Hopefully someday, when my son is little older, I can come back to experience one more semester of infinite creation...

Looking forward to be in India again...

 

In the moment I'm living in Brazil and dancing a lot!

My body is so alive and my subbodies so open to reveal themselves each time I make myself available for the strings of infinite Creation

I want to thank you for this beautiful key in my life, subbody butoh is part of my inner treasures

I discovered this beautiful state of channeling dance and my art is growing beautifully

All these years in silence and mothering my baby I kept studying and practicing by myself, and living in a community of artists offering my subbody trances , dancing, dancing, dancing, experiencing the depths of butoh state, learning how to explore more and more deep, allowing shisha to unfold in so many different forms through my body and soul...

One day I felt I was ready to accompany people in the process of giving birth to their own Art. After many requests I start to share "An.danza"  my own dance practice medicine not just as a dancer but also as a midwife, inspired by subbody butoh method and another techniques and it's been a success!

I feel so grateful honoring and Rhizoming the techniques in Brazil receiving so much inspiration, and playing so much with everything I learnt from you in all that time I spent in school. What a good method to play and play!! With the groups I work with I'm developing the listening of how to best accompany the subbodies of others to be born, opening and sustaining that presence, that state, that magic. I'm so grateful for everything I learnt from you Lee!

For me the big key is to discover that possibility that lives inside each one of us, the awakening of the subbody realm to dance!!

 

I honor your channel of creation

Hopefully I can receive your blessings about sharing your method, but it's happening beyond me, it's just happening and it's awakening beautiful creation cobody potential around here

 

All my blessings to you,

Reply letter from Himalaya

 

Dear Aia

Thank you for your profound email. I am very impressed. Just by reading it, I can see that you have made the sub-body technique your own, and that you are growing into a great great midwife who opens the creativity of others.

The Subbody Resonance Butoh technique has since expanded into the art of life resonance, opening up not only the body and movement channels, but also the eight channels of creativity, such as painting, music, and literature. It has also deepened into a transformation of the human relationship channel. In your letter you wrote, "With the groups I work with I'm developing the listening of how to best accompany the subbodies of others to be born, opening and sustaining that presence, that state, that magic. I'm so grateful for everything I learned from you"

I'm very happy to hear that you are ddepeniong the exact same path in own way in Brazil.

 

Dream of a girl being hung

 

This morning, I dreamed of a girl being hung from a cliff. It was the dream of a girl who suffered the fate of being hung and suspended from a high cliff as a sacrifice by the law of her village. The girl remembers the nightmares and experiences she had in her life while hanging from the cliff, and panics, but little by little she begins to overcome them. Perhaps the impressions of your dynamic subbody-cobody theater inspired me to connect with my own fate or the life memory of an old animistic myth.

We cannot avoid the experience of hurting and being hurt sometimes by the entanglement of qualia, such as the birth trauma or childhood trauma we can neither control, nor remember. We are bound by them to problems that cannot be solved. Tatsumi Hijikata called these qualia that  life cannot resonate well with as "Kan", and the path to transforming them into creation was called "Flower of Kan" and is the basis of butoh. By delving into the qualia of our own Kan as a matter of life, we have learned that other people also have Kan that they cannot tell others about. The world is currently facing difficulties, but we will overcome them to create new Flowers of Kan.

I would love to share these emails between you and me on my new book or by mailing group as I think it would be a clear growth goal for new students. If you don't mind, please let me know and if you mind some part, and I will remove it upon your request.

Nothing makes me happier than to know that old students are deepening their paths in different parts of the world. Please continue dancing and deepening.
