Butoh Performance Workshop with Mariko and Tanya
Company SoGono Artistic Director Tanya Calamoneri and former Dairakurakan dancer Mariko Endo team up for the fall series! First class will be a mini-history lesson, screening of historical butoh pieces, and methodology discussion. Tanya and Mariko will rotate teaching weeks, and combine their choreographies in the student showing at the end.
Butoh is an image-based movement exploration. It asks what can a body do, and what is a body? Each class will begin with a Noguchi gymnastic-based thorough mind-body workout, followed by image explorations, and then choreographic structures. The 9 weeks will culminate in a student showing, with material from both teachers woven together.

And she has also toured Japan and the United States as a principal dancer in one of Japan's representative Butoh companies, Dairakudakan. In addition to her foundation of dance, she has studied psychoanalysis and energy healing and that influences her approach to dance as a sculpture of consciousness.
