Content of class

We start butoh online classes with a short theoretical talk, after which we continue with practice. 

Marco will be teaching dance techniques from his method (Marco Nektan Method). 

We will start with Noguchi taiso and Noguchi seitai inspired techniques for preparation of the body. 

Then Marco is leading the group through a meditation session for liberation of ego and drowning into personal subconscious. 

After meditation students are doing one Breathwork exercise and focusing intention on their breath as there body music. With these three exercises dancers are introduced to the holistic and psychosomatic approach of this practice. 

What come next are Butoh exercises on special topic exploring Space, Time, Body and Relations trough shadow work dance, body resonance, alchemical process of body and soul, energy work and much more… 

In the last part of class practice we are integrating all elements from the class into ritual dance. That is a special psycho – drama exercise which demonstrates the experience of integrating the Butoh elements in one choreography. 

In the end we engage in Nidra yoga relaxation and grounding with light reflection on the class experience.
 Watch a short trial lesson.
