In honor of the autumn, in the wake of Samhain and the Day of the Dead, Tanya Calamoneri and Michael J. Morris are offering a special three-hour edition of Butoh Methods.

Butoh Methods explores practices drawn from the lineage of butoh, a postmodern dance form that emerged in Japan in the 1950s in the work of Tatsumi Hijikata and Kazuo Ohno, which has now migrated and evolved in many directions around the world.
Butoh practices experiment with perception by engaging with a multitude of images. Butoh invites surrender in the sense of letting go of rigid or static ideas of self and opening to who or how else we might become. It is a dance that was born as a protest against the alienation of humanity, and butoh practice can be both a profoundly healing and artistically refreshing mode of expression.

No previous experience with butoh or any other dance form required.
