Session I: Noguchi Gymnastics
Mari Osanai
NEW YORK BUTOH KAN TRAINING INITIATIVE: INTRODUCTORY
Noguchi Gymnastics is not limited to dancers, EVERYONE can use it to generate fluidity and relaxation throughout the body. Japanese founder Michizou Noguchi envisioned the body as a sack of water (skin), in which bones and internal organs float. Based on his philosophy and training methods, exersises explore fine textured movement and change the concept of flexibility by developing strength via inner responsiveness.
