1What is subbody?

 

     Sub-body is another body which lives in the darkness of body.

It is always streaming, changing shapes and qualities and creating many images,
fantasies, dreams, and dances, though the consciousness does not notice about.

It is very creative, unique, and communicative, because itfs principle of
movement is the resonance.    

 

œListen to the subbody in the darkness of body

 

     Rest your daily consciousness with deep breathing and find comfortable wave in your deep body.

Also release your eyes from daily alertness and let them float freely in your imaginary world.

     Try to concentrate to listen to your subbody stream, and try to catch a very subtle signal from your subbody.

     When you catch a sub-signal, just amplify it by your whole body and mind, and follow to the spontaneous movement, develop it freely, until it becomes your own original movement.

     Everything is dance.  Donft follow to the normal concept of dance in the daily world.

     This original movement will become a seed of your own subbody dance.

     Our sub-body is very shy and fragile. When we watch another personfs sub-body dance with deep empathy and warm sympathy, only in this warm atmosphere our sub-body dance is able to appear.

     We learn how to give various kinds of warm support to another subbody dance, and how to unify our subbodies each other.  This unified subbodies is called cobody.  We can experience this wonderful process that our subbodies transform into cobody through dancing together.

 

2Open the every channel toward the whole self

 

     Our subbody is streaming with changing shape and quality. It is floating inside of our body and outside freely.

Try to open to inside and outside fifty-fifty.

     When you open to inside and outside half and half, your subbody comes out through some channels, depending on your type, and sub-bodyfs condition.

     When your visual channel opens, subbody comes out with various visual images.

     If you are good at sounds, your subbody may appear as some inner music or rhythm.

     When your body channel opens, you will feel some strange senses and signals from your body feelings.

     If you open your movement channel, your body starts an interesting movement spontaneously..

     We have many other channels, for example the feeling channel, human relationship channel, world image/self image channel, thinking/awareness channel, and so on.

     Through the subbody method you can learn how to open your closed channels one by one, and how to develop your subbody dance as your whole self.  

 

3 Become a secret

 

     When you open every channel of your subbody, you can transform to everything freely.

You can become another person, another creature, animal, starfish, ameba, plants, water, wind, stone, and so on.

You may find some various character of yourself. You may change gender, age, and nationality.

These strange images will come up from your deep secret of being or from deep memories which you can not remember.

You can create your own unique and original dance which is only one in the world.

You can find your own beauty of dance.

     When we create our dance from subbody, we need to arrange it to be transparent for others.

You can arrange it by learning the Jo-Ha-Kyu method, and communicate with others transparently.

     If you could dance from your deep secret subbody, the other personfs subbody must open up and connect to your subbody dance absolutely.

We resonate each other, and dance together naturally.

We can exchange our deep experiences without words.

 

4Become a rhizome

 

     In a subbody dance world, you can transform into a rhizome.

Rhizome is the opposite concept to the tree system which has a hierarchy, like a bureaucracy in a society.

     Rhizome can connect each other and separate freely at any time, at any place.

Rhizome can transform to any kind of being freely and collaborate each other without any leader, without any director.

     In the subbody dance world, there is no border, no boundary, between you and me, between mind and body, between outside and inside, between individual and group, between female and male, between young and old.

 

These experiences will open your mind and body extremely, and you may open a new awareness about the world and self image.

 

5 Subbody=cobody butoh theater

 

     You can open your own world images freely and dance with a new self-image in your world.

     And the others can join into your own world with empathic resonance as a creature.

     Your friends will add some new things which your world do not have, and change it to richer world.

This is the world co-creation.

We can become co-creator of new world image.

When subbody opens up to another subbody, subbody will unified each other and transform into one cobody.

     We can open these subbody= cobody world beyond our ego, beyond every border?nation, culture, religion, knowledge, power, age, and sex.

This is the subbody=cobody dance theater which develops automatically in a very interesting way without any leader like a choreographer or a director.

     We can see everything which transforms freely between unconscious world and conscious world transparently.

Through these experiences we can develop our new sense of transparency and resonance.

These transparent mind/body and resonance may become a new art of living for human..

When we get a new transparent mind/body and resonance ability, it is able to open a new world which we co-create with resonance.

    

    Is this a wonderful thing for you, isnft it?
