NOTES: Taught by Denise Fujiwara and Gerry Trentham, this workshop is an introduction to a 

new frontier of performance training. The program integrates the embodiment practices of the dance-theatre form of Butoh with the embodiment practices of Linklater-based voice and speech work as a means to increased creative potential, range and precision as performers and performance creators. The morning session introduces embodied voice and Butoh practices, while the afternoon will introduce how these practices apply to performance presence and authentic character through text. Basic experience in the areas of dance, dance-theatre and/or theatre training is recommended for participants. Please arrive with 3 lines of text (from a play of your choice), memorized.
