| Passive body |
Qualia of to be moved is one of the deepest qualia for life, just like as qualia of unable to move. because our origin life which was born four billions years before could not move at all at the first period. Life was moved by another power; gravity, wave, wind earthquake, thunder, storm, and so on for a long time. Then in our life memory so many kind of qualia of to be moved and unable to move are folded. Our consciousness forget them but our life remenber them, they are recorded in our genom, then all of us can share them. To be moved at handred tandens Similar as handred tanden three dimesions practice, from sacram to head, at all handred tandens of body, try to be moved by another being toward the randam directions, with different timing, to diffrent directions, by different strength and speed. Forget that you are human. Throw away the concept that you are the subject. You become just passive body. Not you but another being moves your body. You become just medium which is possessed by another strength, by another spirits. This practice is a important process for becoming possessed body. Butoh is not the self expression at all. You do not dance by yourself, but someone moves your body. Another being who comes from unkown dimension possess your body and mind. This is the different point from western dance concept which is bound by the modern concept that dance is self expression by using body. They believe that I can possess my body and can controll it. It is the misunderstanding about the life and body. They don't know about subconsciousness at all. Also most of Butoh dancers are bound by the concept of self expression. Real butoh is the art for living in completely different multi dimensional world released from the narrow concept of modern human. |
