Dancing from the bottom
Julie from France is now studing theater in a University in Japan. She
want to learn butoh and come to Himalaya.
In the August course, we start to search own Bottom body.
"What is bottom body?" , a student asked me.
"It is the most pressed subbody body by some pressures. If you find
it, you can create your own necessary dance spreading out from it."
I answered.
Luie found her unique bottom body, and continue to dance from it.
Her world qualia were "Stillborn world", "Behind mask",
and "In the blue of absinthe".
All students shared them and created her worlds. Julie danced in those
worlds with showing various face behind daliy mask. Though only one picture
was catched by camera clearly, it was so strong.
The following is her feedback of the experiences.

Broken dreams of flying birds/ Julie
Studying butoh at Subbody Dance School was a great experience for me. I really enjoyed having the opportunity to approach various aspects of butoh in such a short period of time.
Although it was sometimes hard, I enjoyed discovering other people's worlds and meeting different qualia.
I hope to be able to come back for a year in order to study butoh more in-depth.
Performing on Fridays was also a good experience as it is nice to have the possibility to share our worlds with other people.
Thanks for this great summer!
