Life Resonance Himalaya

  Affirmation of Life   Start from Affirmation In the creation of subbody=cobody, the important points are as below. Affirm all tendencies in your darkness of body Do not think by your head. Head is fully trapped in dualism judgment. This is good, this is bad. Head is bound to a narrow concept that works only ridiculous human. Take off all human thought and judgment, become life. We don't create modern human dance but create Butoh of Life. In Life, there is no dualistic Judgment at all. Affirm any tendencies in the darkness of the body, even you feel just how ugly and miserable. Throw away those dualistic emotional binds.  Of course, in the darkness of body, we meet so hard Qualia which we cannot endure, we call it "Edge Qualia". Affirm all Qualia including edge Qualia with finding the safe distance. To find a proper distance is also to find a good resonance pattern. Almost subbody trying to be born still does not know how to resonate properly with everything. Do not...

  Midwife   Become  Midwife  Rhizome   An ideal form of future human Midwife Rhizome is an ideal form of future human for me. I want to share it with you in the last part of the book. We all try to grow up to Midwife Rhizome. What is Midwife Rhizome? Why do we need to become Midwife Rhizome? How can we become it?   What is Midwife? Listen to not only own darkness of the body but also to all of your friend's darkness of the body quietly 24-hour. It may connect to all human being and Life on the planet. Always listen to how can we open the potential creativity of Life fully. When we stop daily thinking and become subbody=cobody mode, the border between self and others disappears. The midwife does not belong in Tree hierarchical system like the school teacher. A midwife is a Rhizome that does not give knowledge from the top of the hierarchy but continues to learn from Life and shares the best with others. There are neither teachers nor students in the Subbody ...

  Characteristics of Hijikata's Butoh-fu Language Deviate extremely from normal language   While studying on "Quiet Houses" and "Sick Dancing Princess", it was able to grasp some of the features of Hijikata's Butoh-fu language as follows. The language of Hijikata-style Butoh-fu is 1. Collect Kan Qualia that Life cannot resonate well, and being marginalized or dissociated Qualia. 2. Describe it by the unique language that rarely uses it. 3. All the dancers who try to resonate with it have to listen to the darkness of the body and quest for the forgotten Qualia . It has characteristics as above. Nobody would know how to dance it at first glance. The language of Hijikata's Butoh-fu itself demands us hard work to quest desperately in the darkness of the body. We have no choice but to find it by oneself. Dig into the mystery and secrets of the dark of the body, and finally dig the way to bloom the flower blossoms. Whether you can do this also depends on wheth...

  23. Compound Eyes 1. Flower Gaze and a face wrapped by flower petals 2. Small flower inside the eyeball 3. Breeding dust with eyelashes 4. A girl in the bush as a stuffed body 5. A girl and mad king in the bush and in the spider’s web 6. A girl and mad king in the bush inside eyes [I am] waiting for an attack of the storm with the body that connects to these parts, like a puppy that felt the coming storm, or like a spoon or a firefly. Thus, a Butoh Dancer must have a gaze that connects to those. This gaze is the eyeballs of the pink parakeet.  24. (Shivering) When I rubbed a mirror, there was a swaying shadow of the flower 1. The extreme dirtiness of the enduring stuffed body 2. A waltz of cow and tree is shivering 3. When I rubbed a mirror, there was a swaying shadow of flower from behind 4. Shivering 5. Picking flower on the road – Walking Blind – Dog 6. Spoon – Old Woman 7. Shivering 8. Small flowers and small faces are hanging on the grid of a graph paper 9. Shivering 10...

  16. The difficulty of changing place The body is a dancing place. A dancing place of the hand, a dancing place of the hip, a dancing place of behind the elbow, and so on. The depth of this dancing place is formed by overcoming the deep memories (and Qualia) that were caught in each dancing place and reverse twisting them. For example, suppose there is a house of Mr. Yanagida, and I discover that it is a very precious thing that there is a peacock in Mr. Yanagida’s yard. And the place called “Can Factory” is narrated by the powder that was dear to me. They become the blood of the dance.        17. (Rakan) Bugs attach to Rakan with senile hand – Small Flower – String – Sea Shell – Scale    18. (The Eyes) Gaze deeply inside the head and eyes – Gaze deeply at the condition of the gazing deeply – If you observe from outside, it may seem to stop moving – to Gaze – to Fine Stick   19. (Small Box of Joints) A small box of joints – Hans Bellmer...
