ButohPhoto Workshop being offered at Gray Loft Gallery
A workshop by Tom White, Betty Jo Costanzo, Styrous and Kyung Lee
Workshop: Wednesday and Thursday, August 12 – 13, 6:00 to 9:00 pm ButohPhoto Performance by class participants at Gray Loft Gallery: 2nd Friday ArtWalk, August 14, 7:00 pm
The workshop will be directed by Tom White, Betty Jo Costanzo and
Styrous. For more than two decades they have created workshops
domestically and internationally including a residency in Cyprus where
they created and performed Butohdrawing.
The two-day workshop will consist of learning the Butoh discipline –
which is a way to discover how to perceive the world through peripheral
vision and all of our six senses – the elements of Butoh movement and
performance.
The instructors will demonstrate how the act of
taking a photo with Butoh heightened perception is a way of seeing the
world around us in a very unusual way. Smart phones and video cameras
will be used to record and project the collected images into the gallery
space.
The conclusion of the two-day workshop will be a
Friday performance, where the participants will incorporate the concepts
learned at the workshop, presented during the monthly 2nd Friday
ArtWalk at Gray Loft Gallery at 7:00 pm.
