What a gift it was to be included in Ren Gyo Soh's First Anniversary Party, celebrating a year since it's initial founding. I was able to perform an excerpt from The Ume Group's Dream Dances and premiere a new piece choreographed by Ren Gyo Soh's Yokko; a Butoh exploration of Hamlet entitled The Name of Action.
Ren Gyo Soh Fundraiser Performance- April 18th
Save the date- I'll be performing a Butoh piece directed by Yokko at Ren Gyo Soh's 1st Birthday Party Fundraiser at the ABC Sanctuary, along with a bill of other exciting performances.
Butoh Workshop with Yokko of Ren Gyo Soh
After a lengthy and intensive Void rehearsal Saturday AM, I hopped down to the ABC Sanctuary for a butoh workshop led by fellow Void dancer (and Ume Group member), Yokko- the founder of Ren Gyo Soh. It was an honor to explore and share deeply personal dances with this generous and open group. Many thanks, Yokko, for a beautiful afternoon!
