The essense of subbody method is to stop daily mind/ body, and follow your
subconscious body.
Our consciousness is bound by so many daily habits and illusion as a modern
human.
The subconsciousness and subbody(=subconscious body) are free from these
binds, then they have infinite creativity.
To open the infinite possibility of creativity of subbody, we need to release
from all of daily binds as the human; nationality, gender, age, culture,
religion, politics, economy, knowledge, power, and so on.
These boinds are in the daily life. Creaton must release from all of them.
We are bound by the so strong habits and illusions of daily life which
the consciousness directs our body and movement.
But, our consciousness is bound by the so poor dualistic judgement, wrong/right,
good/ bad, strong/weak, beautiful/ugry, true/fake, and so on.
Throw away all of these binds. They are just illusions in daily life.
Then the first thing to prepare is to stop thinking, including unconscious
inner talking by words. And concentrate on listening to body.
Please prepare your body and mind to accept all of tendencies in your darkness
of body which you will sink into everyday at the school.
Find a quiet place and sit down with free position of your legs, straight
your spine, and listen to the body.
Sway freely physically and mentaly.
Sway freely from each spine, from various parts of body in various directions
and dimenssions.
Follow any tendencies of your body and mind.
When a spontaneous movement come out, follow it.
When some memories, dreams, visions, imaginations, feelings, emotions,
sounds, come up, follow them.
Continue this training until you can accept everything from the sub-conscious body without any judgment.
Physical preparation
In winter season, our bodies become stiff.
We need to keep extreme free condition of body, mind and life.
Please try this conditioning every morning, and prepare for new school.
1. Releasing sacrum-pelvis joints
Especially, the sacrum-pelvis joints become stiff during the night. Move
your
pelvis to three dimentional direction; front-back, side-side, up-down with
breathing out up to limit, breath in and hold for a second and relax it
suddenly with breathing out.
You can do this exercise by lay down position, sitting position and standing
position flexiblly, if you feel cold also in your bed.
Continue it until confortable streams fill your whole body.
Taste and enjoy it.
2. Streaming from sacrum
Let various sways start from sacrum-pelvis joint, and spread to whole body,
with vairious speed, qualia, direction, and rhythm.
You learn the vaporized body in this year, and transform various bodies;
animal, stone, plant, kugutsu, bottom, chimera, hidden body, archetype,
and so on.
Almost of transformation begins from bottom of body; sacrum, pelvis tale,
spine, anus, inner organ, and deep memories.
3. Open your skin
Stand at a sunny place. Close your eyes and turn your body slowly.
You can sense where is the sun, not you but your life of cells can recognize
it.
Open your fingers, the skin between fingers can feel air, temperature,
wind and so on.
Take off your human, and become life.
Feel your life of each cell, you can feel the multi-dimensional resonance
of life.
Butoh Festival Himalaya
"Ning Tub Ling" Fabricio
16 Februaru, 2011
Ning Tub Ling/ Fabricio
Fabricio from Brasil, living in Germany, the head of Nomadic University is the third time of school.
He brought rainbow color tents, and open it in the "Ning Tub Ling",
various abled Tibetan house, apart from school one hour drive.
It was an ideal carnival of pure resonance of life.
How can we enjoy resonance like this?
What disturb us from pure life resonance?
Maybe it is the Ego of our daily body.
We need ego for daily life, but we don't need it as a creator, as a life.
How can we stop Ego?
We learn it for one year at the Subbody School.
This is the main thing.
We put again the last day's record at the next collumn.
Festival has over with the exciting resonance. After the five performances
at the theater, on the last day we visited Tibetan Handicaped Home "Ningtobling"
in Dharamsala guided by Fabricio (Brazil-Germany). We did various colored
performances and art works. People enjoyed with opening full familarity
and hospitality. They danced together, laughed together, sang together
from the first performance to the end. It was so special real carnival
beyond borders. All of us could experience the pure life resonance.
We felt that our lives were washed by their pure resonance without ego.
We were so happy to finish the festival with sharing pure life resonance.
Thank you very much all audiences, participants, old and present students!
The five performances at the subbody-cobody theater will start uploading
in a few days one by one.
Dorjee has come from Tibet to India when he was lowteen with mother and
yonger brother beyond Himalaya.
He started dancing by his own way, his original dance was so energetic
and rough. Last year he learned more delicate technique of creation. Then
his dynamic range of dance has spreaded from subtle qualia to dynamic movement,
though still on the way.
The last day of Himalaya Butoh Festival, he performed with other dancers
and audience. Audience gave free sound to him with various primiteve instruments,
he could resonate deeply with them.
After one hour dancing, when his dance started repetition, I started fade
down of light, his dancing became harder and harder, when the light faded
down completely, he started jumping in the dark stage. Video camera could
not catch it, but audience could feel it deeply. So it was the most impressive
moment, though any camera could not catch.
Climax of butoh is always like this, no machine cannot catch up, but only
life can resonante.
Please imagine it.
