Experience the power of Butoh and Noguchi Taiso taught in a positive, inspirational, and uplifting atmosphere by Vangeline (France/NYC). This workshop will consist of warm ups, Butoh techniques mixed with Noguchi Taiso, improvisation, and relaxation. All levels are welcome. Take a single day or enroll for the entire workshop!

Vangeline is an award-winning and highly regarded teacher, dancer, and choreographer specializing in Japanese butoh. She is the artistic director of the Vangeline Theater/New York Butoh Institute (New York), a dance company firmly rooted in the tradition of Japanese butoh while carrying it into the twenty-first century. 

With her all-female dance company, Vangeline’s socially conscious performances tie together butoh and activism. Vangeline is the founder of the New York Butoh Institute Festival, which elevates the visibility of women in butoh, and the festival Queer Butoh. She pioneered the award-winning, 18-year running program The Dream a Dream Project, which brings butoh dance to incarcerated men and women at correctional facilities across New York State. 

Vangeline firmly believes that butoh can be an instrument of personal and collective transformation in the 21st century. This transformation comes from holding a mirror to each other and integrating our many facets—the beautiful and the ugly; and from reintegrating the forgotten of our society into our midst.

Cost: Friday $40 | Saturday $70 | Sunday $70 | All three days $170
