Hosted by Shoshana Green/ ButohSF
Dates: November 8th-10th: Friday 6-9pm, Sat 12-4pm, Sun 2-6pm

Satuday: Studio Valencia: 455A Valencia Street, San Francisco
Noguchi Taiso is practiced by a great number of Butoh practitioners today and has been incorporated by many well known Japanese Butoh teachers and pioneers (Yumiko Yoshioka, Ko Murobushi, Kan Katsura, Otto Morita, Carlotta Ikeda, Akaji Maro, Ushio Amagatsu, Semimaru and Kazoo Ohno).
Noguchi Taiso is an approach to movement research and exploration which begins with a heightened awareness of gravity’s influence on the body and the body’s connection with the center of the earth. Exercises in the workshop train the body to embrace its weight and heighten its sensitivity to move from its most relaxed and receptive state.
The founder of Noguchi Taiso, Michizo Noguchi (野口 三千三 1914~1998 developed this technique in Japan. He was honorary professor of Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music ). Michizo Noguchi devised exercises that help you discover and develop infinite possibilities within your body movement
Noguchi Taiso Concepts:
neutralizing your body before creating.
The characteristic of living things is their softness.
Softness is the richness of the possibility of change.
Relax your strength and use gravity as your ally to move fluidly.
Sensing subtle differences within the body.
The human being’s body is mainly (about 70%) composed of body liquid. It’s not solid.
Human being is a living water bag.
All movements dynamics are fluid dynamics.
One future of liquid movement is extremely complex movements both temporally (time and space),
wave circle swirls, complicated and subtle movements.
Mari Osanai is an independent dancer, choreographer, and Noguchi Taiso teacher. She is based in Aomori, Japan (her birthplace). Her early influences are in Tai Chi, western dance methods, traditional folk dance and the connection between one’s thoughts and sensation of weight.
