Yumiko Yoshioka – Body Resonance Workshop

SomArt Space Posted on August 28, 2026 by guestJuly 27, 2026

Friday, August 28, 2026 - Sunday, August 30, 2026, 10:00 am - 8:00 pm

Yumiko Yoshioka - Body Resonance Workshop

Body Resonance Workshop – based on Butoh and Organic Movement

The main focus of this workshop is the conscious research of our body/mind/soul unification so we can deeply enjoy the intrinsic process of metamorphosis in the spirit of dance. Through a continuous exploration of our past collective memories, we can strike a vein of abundant creative resources, enriching the essence of our life. The body is a receptacle of time. Body resonance is a key to opening up the doors of an ever-changing world inside and outside of ourselves, which helps the body to unfold its secrets, holding them up until they shine and tremble.

Everything is in resonance with each other. Through a dialogue with our body, we can learn to be moved by inner and outer forces, thus realizing we are a part of the Universe. A dance of metamorphosis inevitably appears.

Workshop Content:
– Organic Movement (release exercises) inspired by Noguchi Taiso (Water Gymnastics)
– Tai chi and Yoga such as figure 8, waves, water ball rotation, hanging body
– breathing exercises AUN
– dynamic training for the flow of energy
– Butoh-related work (sensitization, combination of image and movement with antenna exercises, such as animal, insect, snake, witch and fairy, the creatures inside us, walking, dialogue with a partner etc)
– structured improvisation and choreography

Friday, August 28th: 5:30 PM – 8:00 PM
Saturday, August 29th: 10:30 AM – 2:30 PM
Sunday, August 30th: 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM
