Bugs walk

1. A bug is crawling on the back of your right hand,
2. A second bug is creeping down from your left side of your neck to your back,
3. A third bug is wriggling up along your inner thigh,
4. A fourth bug is squirming down from your left shoulder to your chest,
5. A fifth bug …   Ah, where is it?
6. You're so itchy, here and there. You can’t stand still.　
You're pushed away from here by itchiness.
7. Itchiness under your chin, itchiness at the base of your ears, itchiness around your elbows, itchiness around your kneecaps, itchiness around your waist,   Ah! There're five-hundred of them!
8. Around your eyes, around your mouth, in your ears, between your fingers, in every mucous membrane.    Five thousand bugs
9. A bug on every hair,
10. A bug in every pore,
11. From there thirty thousand bugs are crawling down into your guts and eating them voraciously,
12. Having eaten them up the bugs are coming out of your body through the pores,
   Now they are eating the space around your body,
13. Now the bugs are full of the outer space and eaten by another kind of bugs,
14. The condition is being eaten up by another-another kind of bugs.
15. ( Half a billion bugs on a tree. The inside is all gone. )
16. It is your end. ( The will has transformed just the bug or the sense of material.).

August intensive cource has started. Participants are from Greece, France, Israel, Tibet, USA.
We started to reseach "a bottom body" in the darkness of body.
Bottom body is a folded body into the minimum size.
Though it is prety hard for body, we can feel ease as if we are at home. The bottom body is a mysterious paradox in the darkness of body.
It may be the most pressed , shurincked and warped subbody from the world.
When life was pressed into a limit, life may give up to escape and turn the atitude to be agressive mysteriously.
Life has to invent a new way of living with the limited and handicapped body.
The movement must be a novel, and necessary one which exists only one in the world.
It is an absolute creation of life for surviving.

Even if the invention is so small and miserable, it is worth to share with the other life which was fallen in the hardships, too.
Life has continued to invent so diverse ways of life throughout the four billion years history. It brought so rich diversity of species on the planet.
The real creation shuld be shared with all of life. It is comon wealth for life.
True creation does not belong ego and self, we just borrow the ten trillion of cell which resonate as human body from Life only for less than hundred years. What we could create should be returned to the Life immidiately.
We can return the life through it.




The above is Lee's bottom body which was found arround fifteen years ago.
I call it "Stone".
After I had met this bottom body, so many subbody movements were unfolded from here.
When i traveled over the world with performances and workshops, I used to visit contact jam at various cities, and danced with this bottom body.
I roiled with keeping this shape, traveled the space with improvising with contact dancers.
I realezed the bottom is a treasure house of creativity. But I could not be confident that is universal for not only me,but for everybody.
But students proved that I can be confident by their rich creations. If they met the bottom body fortunately, so many unique creations came out one after another from each bottom body.
Though it may take time to find it, it is worth to research with taking long time. When we could meet it, we can contact so rich kinds of novel, deep, numinous bodily qualia, and so many subbodies are able to unfold and come out from there. It may be a secret treasure house of creativity in the subconscious body.

A snow lion rushed into the school with dancing. Snow lion is a Tibetan simbolic animal which is drawn in the Tibetan flag. He is so similar to it.

He came from Tibet to India twelve years ago crossing over the Himalayan mountain. It is the same year when I visited here at the first time. He has extreme tough body and moving ability, though still rough and unpolished as a raw ore. But he is changing day by day with learning subbody method earnestly. Please watch his growing process warmly from now on. The first Tibetan butoh dancer might be born.

My whole body is move conscious as well. I have also found many new worlds of movement to explore in my life, there is no end. I love this subbody butoh method. Thank you. Life resonance is beauty. !!
