THOT Butoh Dance's - Photoshoot during the rehearsals.

  Dancers' improvisations based on their feelings are Butoh's fundamental elements, endorsing Kazuo Ohno himself at some point: "It is the soul that dances, the body follows him". The lack of specific dialogues and costumes (although there are certain common elements to see as pale bodies and semi-nudity, seeking homogeneity between both sexes) allows the body as such to be the greater means of communication with the public. The flow of the movements can be very slow, rigid or coarse, with exaggerated facial expressions full of energy. This is a discipline that requires a lot of practice, it is not just about making "strange movements" and that’s it. It demands precision in the postures, which are full of symbolism.  

    The guys in this group invited us to witness an essay where we could appreciate the dynamics of prepasignifica entreration prior to the functions. We took the chance to record a little step by step, from the warm up to the execution of the concepts on stage. His work is called "Que la inocencia te valga" (Don’t care about the innocence) and was recently presented at La Casa Del Artista (Artist’s House), here in Caracas. In the near future they will resume the season of functions, so I recommend all those interested, be attentive to their social networks to attend their works, I assure you that they will enjoy and open their minds to new ways of seeing the art.
