OUR WORKSHOPS
suitable for both beginners and advanced learnersgevorderden
Butoh weekend – Motoya
11&12 JULY
The workshop begins with observation and bodily awareness before movement takes place. Participants focus on subtle sensations, fragile details, and small inner impulses, allowing movement to unfold from within rather than being Butoh_july26consciously “made.” Instead of expressing personal stories or emotions, the workshop explores the physical intensity of emotions and the delicate, almost invisible world of nerves, textures, and micro-movements. It is open to everyone, with no prior experience required.
Butoh weekend– Maruska
9-11 OCTOBER
This workshop approaches dance as a way to celebrate life, transform emotions, and reconnect with a sense of ritual, gratitude, and devotion to nature. Drawing on ancient forms of dance and the cyclical rhythms of the natural world, it explores themes of autumn, winter, twilight, ageing, release, and renewal. Through body training, breathwork, presence, imagery, and improvisation, participants are invited to release tension, let energy circulate, and develop their own Butoh dance in a fluid, organic, and personal way.
Monthly Butoh classes
from september
Camille’s performance work is rooted in Butoh and shaped by a deep sensitivity to space, perception, and the movements of consciousness. Her praMaandelijkse Butohctice explores the relationship between the observer and the phenomenon, allowing consciousness to continuously dissolve and be reborn in order to encounter each moment without fixed interpretation. As a Butoh performer, she is active in Belgium and internationally, and is a member of La sombre compagnie, which contributes to the development of Butoh in Brussels.
IMPROVE YOUR FORM
THE BEST PITSTOP AFTER WORK
Our body is a dance of connections – atoms that come and go in stillness and movement, carried by space and energy. In the void between two gestures, something new unfolds: a wordless knowing, an encounter with ourselves and the other. Each body carries its own rhythm, a unique gift that touches and connects the world.
THE BEST WORKOUT FOR BODY & SOUL
Within our bodies moves a silent flow of connections – an endless dance of breaking, healing and becoming. Between the movements lies a space where new meaning illuminates, a whisper of what is alive. You are a unique story in motion, resonating with everything around you….
