LUDUS Lab - SU-EN

This LEIMAY LUDUS Lab will introduce the SU-EN Butoh Method.

SU–EN‘s work is based on the Hijikata/Ashikawa Method, which was developed further in the TOMOE SHIZUNE & HAKUTOBO group. SU–EN is one of the very few dancers today with direct training in this lineage.

The SU–EN butoh method aims to create a dancing and a performing body using butoh body materials. The body is de-constructed and re-defined. The challenges of body and space present new possibilities.

No previous dance training is necessary but participants need to be in good physical and mental health. The SU–EN Butoh Method provides tools for stage performance and choreographic structures and does not aim to examine therapeutic processes or self-exploration.

The workshop is an introduction only; focused training over three to five years with SU–EN is recommended to master this choreographic style.

A body that challenges the space
A body that is erased and still moving
A body that transforms into other realities
A body balancing beauty and brutality
A body beyond civilization and culture
