2. Things that disturb transparency

  2.    Things that disturb transparency   The biggest  Archetype: Ego I continued to try to  calm  down my ego process for decades years, now slowly it is able to catch the subtle signal when my ego comes up transparently. Until now I could not notice the timing because my ego did not calm down enough. Maybe, the ego is the biggest  Archetype that is imprinted in the collective unconsciousness for us . Now everybody has it, and nobody noticed that ego is the Archetype as the same as other Archetype, Anima, Animus, Great mother, Trickster, Superego, God, Devil, Spirit, Ghost, Monster, and so on. It is the most familiar  tendency  for  the  daily body and mind.  In this capitalist economy, without it we can’t survive. But, in the creative realm, it is the biggest disturbance. When ego comes out   I noticed that there are two typical tendencies which the ego comes up. One is the moment when the ego receives uncomfortabl...

1. What is Transparency?

  1. What is Transparency?   What is Transparency?   Transparen cy  means not being b ound  by outside. Transparen cy  means not being b ound  by inside. Transparen cy  means not being b ound  by anything. Listen to inside 50%, outside 50%. Keep this balance exactly to be transparent. Transparency means not being bound by anything, not bound by internal elements and external elements, and we can become Transparent Life. The word of inside and outside is tricky, it changes always depend on the focusing condition. Subbody mode For example, when you are subbody mode, inside means inner Qualia; feeling, emotion, desire, memory, imagination and so on, outside means present physical resonance with the environment. Cobody mode When we are cobody mode, the outside becomes a friend’s movement and inside becomes yourself. Subbody=Cobody  mode In the  performance , the outside becomes the audience and inside becomes the dancers. Performance is...

7. My predecessors

  7.   My predecessors Michel Foucault (1966) The death of God and the Disappearance  of Man I would like to introduce the most important philosophical discoveries in the 20th century. The most important philosophical event in the 19th century was "God has died" by Nietzsche. And in the 20 century, Foucault predicted "Disappearance of Man". It happened in France in 1966. And, surprisingly, in Japan at the same time beyond the sea, Tatsumi Hijikata was created Butoh that abandons all human conditions. It was surprising synchronicity! We knew the fact that Life is connected to one in the Abyss, through it. Only my generation has experienced the amazing synchronicity of Life in 1968 world revolt by world youth. However, someday again the day when the world Life will resonate to Rhizome will come. Tree-like hierarchical order confines the creativity of Life. Someday the Life in the world will notice it.  I believe it. "I believe that the human has been If not a bad...

Practice Guide of Butoh Revolution Rhizome Lee Ondemand Print: 32 USD Kindle E-book: 9.99 USD Click   here   Preface of "Practice Guide of Butoh Revolution" The essence of the Butoh Revolution caused by Tatsumi Hijikata is to create a new <Beauty> by finding the exquisite Jo-Ha-Kyu even in the ugly and distorted state of Life that people of the world do not recognize as beauty. The great works were established by surrendering human ego, identity and judgment and becoming Life. Hijikata placed the <Flower of Kan> in the essence of the Butoh of Life transmitted by resonance from Life to Life. Life resonates with everything in the world. However, there are some Qualia that are not able to resonate well for Life. That becomes <Kan>. Life is sometimes squeezed with unavoidable force, twisted and poisoned, then deformed. Convert the <Kan> into <Flower>. That is the essence of the Butoh Revolution, the <Flower of Kan>. To explore and realize the ...

The courses increase variety by co-researchers

  Ariel, Angelika,Vishal,Yi and cobody The courses increase variety by co-researchers Good morning, movers! We are very much looking forward to sharing some Life Resonance Butoh with you all. The basis of the method is to enter a state of deep listening of Life in the darkness of our bodies, to gain access to a place before the separation between the “Self” and “the Otherness”. Through deep listening with our whole body, we become subconscious, thus a being that can travel in between consciousness and unconsciousness, between Tree (Ego) and Rhizome (Oneness), manifesting the different forms of Life which move and transform infinitely in the Abyss of existence. This allows us to meet infinite creativity of life which we cannot reach with our daily language thinking as it is bound by dualism. Ariel will be broadcasting live from Life Resonance Art Center in Dharamsala, India. You can join the sessions from the comfort of your home via Zoom on Mondays and Wednesdays at  3:30 pm :...
