Dream Dances™ Butoh/Physical Theatre Workshop with Jordan Rosin
DREAM DANCES™ Butoh/Physical Theatre Workshop with Jordan Rosin
Friday, 6pm - 9pm & Saturday, 12pm - 6pm, September 1 & 2, 2017
Synapsis Nova, 212 G Street, Eureka, CA 95501
In the DREAM DANCES™ Workshop, participants will learn to use the techniques of butoh dance, devised theatre, and ensemble play to bring their very own dreams to life!
Participants will be asked to bring in 2-3 journal entries about dreams that they’ve had. For some that may be difficult and so pre-workshop assignments given 1-2 weeks prior are included to help participants specifically work on dream recollection and to begin journaling. (Attendance at the Friday “Primer Night” is also particularly recommended for these individuals.)
Over the course of the Saturday workshop, participants will create vivid theatrical sketches which capture the essence of their very own dreams, part of which will be performed for the public at Synapsis monthly Arts Alive Cabaret! (Participation in the performance is encouraged, but not required and limited to those participating in the Saturday workshop.)
Both days of the workshop will begin with a discussion and meditation, then proceed to highly accessible and action-driven lessons in physical theatre techniques like yoga & acrobatics, plus butoh dance & devising from DREAM DANCES™ Founder, Jordan Rosin.

Friday, Sept. 1 , 6pm – 9pm (3 hours) Primer Night – Introductory Butoh Lesson & Yoga Nidra practice (Good for dream recall)

ANKOKU BUTOH (dance of darkness) is a style of dance and philosophy of creating total theatre originating from Japan in the mid twentieth century. Often marked by grotesque imagery and taboo themes, the main aim of the work is to reveal tacit knowledge hidden in the body, and to promote self-realization through discovery of your most authentic movement. Butoh training promotes physical endurance and expressiveness, spiritual consciousness, and creativity.
