Danza Ombra
This performance is the first in a new monthly series exploring the enigmatic art of Butoh with Stefano Taiuti, and accompanies a workshop by Stefano.
Stefano Taiuti is a performance artist, Butoh dancer and body worker.
Throughout over 30 years Stefano explored the body in motion as an expressive tool, studying with internationally renowned Mime teachers and Butoh masters and thus developing his own methodology. “The Spiritual Mechanism” is a unique approach to dance and self discovery that integrates western movement analyses focusing on the visible, and Butoh to explore the invisible, the subtle, what is behind the movement and generates it.
The performance Danza Ombra, will be followed by a Q&A session. Doors open at 7.30pm, and will close at 8pm sharp (no admission will be possible after this time). The performance will be followed by a Q&A session.

Butoh, (in)famously, defies description. It it often reduced only to an examination of the striking imagery it sometimes produces (grotesque contortions, stark white make-up etc.), but the heart of Butoh is in the process. Butoh presents an exploratory series of tools for finding the body, and learning to be in control of losing control. It is a practice that, fundamentally, asks us to fully confront ourselves as inseperable from our ailing bodies and the universe they bleed and dissolve into.
