RESONANT BODIES: BUTOH/MOVEMENT WORKSHOP
with Jordan Rosin
Thursday & Friday, August 16 & 17, 2018
6:00pm – 9:00pm
Waterline Studio at The Headwaters Theater
55 NE Farragut St. #4 (entrance at front of building, next to North Portland Yoga)
Portland, OR 97211

In this workshop with physical theatre artist and teacher Jordan Rosin, participants will utilize principles from a variety of physical theatre traditions (Butoh Dance in particular) to cultivate an awareness, availability, and responsiveness that will allow them to move and act with intention and impact both onstage and off. Drawing on forms such as yoga, martial arts, acrobatics, clown, contact improvisation, as well as somatic modalities like Alexander Technique and Bartenieff Fundamentals, Jordan will help students tap into universal resonance through engagement with both their dynamic and receptive aspects, expanding both their expressive capacity and the sensitivity necessary to truly be moved by the ‘other’
Ideal for performers, but open to all people, 18 and over, including those with no prior dance/performance experience.
