Please note that access to MCY is unfortunately by staircase only, but otherwise I'll strive to be as inclusive as I can. Though I am not a therapist, I seek to take care of everyone's journey through the class and am on hand to discuss physical and emotional challenges. Please message me in advance or grab a word with me at the beginning of class if you have particular concerns.
Discounts are available beyond the concession price if you're struggling; again, please message me if that's the case. When you arrive, please hit the buzzer for 'MCY'.

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
Butoh is an immersive dance form originating in Japan, dubbed the ‘dance of darkness’ and also a 'dance of the womb'. We use gravity and fluid-awareness exercises to dissolve tension and surreal imagery to awaken the Imagination-body, unlocking dancing which is less an ego-expression than the experience of being danced.
Moving-meditation exercises aim to increase our physical honesty and ability to listen to body energies. Then through improvisation we experience how surrendering to images frees our bodies and enables new experiences of our own being.
No prior experience is needed. These workshops are suitable for anyone interested in expanding their notion of what a human body can be, whether or not you consider yourself a dancer. Merchant City Yoga unfortunately has no elevator, but is otherwise a pretty accessible venue, and if you have any questions or anxieties around access needs please email me to discuss.
Paul Michael Henry has studied Butoh dance with renowned teachers including Yoshito Ohno, Yukio Waguri, Kayo Mikami, Seisaku & Yuri, Tadashi Endo, Yumiko Yoshioka, Imre Thormann, Yuko Kaseki, Masaki Iwana and Gyohei Zaitsu. Michael has been teaching and performing internationally for the last fifteen years. These workshops are their synthesis of these experiences and their own private research.
