This LEIMAY LUDUS Lab, led by Yukio Suzuki and titled catch your body, searches the body and movement using Butoh method. "Butoh has many possibilities for dance nowadays, so I wanted to take over the idea and method of Butoh and develop it. I will share Ko Murobushi's work because I learned from him for 10 years. Butoh has influenced many contemporary dance performances as it is always confronting and facing". -Yukio Suzuki
LEIMAY LUDUS seeks to stimulate imagination, enrich creativity, and expand notions of body, space, and time by challenging euro-centric dance and performance training frameworks.
LEIMAY LUDUS is based on principles developed by LEIMAY's Artistic Co-Director Ximena Garnica in collaboration with the LEIMAY Ensemble through nearly two decades of study of Butoh, Noguchi Taiso, and Experimental Theater.
Guest Butoh Artist Yukio Suzuki will be having a live performance At Home at CAVE following this LEIMAY LUDUS Lab. Free admission, limitedcapacity, registration required.
"Butoh has many possibilities for dance nowadays. It has influenced many contemporary dance performances as it is always confronting andfacing. I want to perform it contemporary because Butoh has influenced many contemporary dance performances in the world". -Yukio Suzuki
