“Sokkyo”, in Japanese, means “ improvisation”

Established in Paris since 1998, NUBA has been actively working on the transmission of Butoh (Centre de danse du Marais, Micadanses,etc.) through classes, workshops and performances.
In order to deepen and widen the expansion of Butoh to amateurs and professionals, help them understand the process of choreography, and offer professional and pre-professional dancers the opportunity to practice Butoh in interaction with an audience, the company proposes:
"Lab-Performance"
Public improvisation sessions accompanied by a musician

The audience can either to participate to the improvisations, or simply be a viewer.
Choreographer, Juju Alishina takes her inspiration from Tatsumi Hijikata, who has casually worked on improvisation, with writers such as Yukio Mishima, who suggested him themes on which he created. We propose Butoh improvisation sessions in a contemporary style.

"When you compare an improvisation which only takes a few seconds to set up with a work that takes three months to choreograph, is it just the time spent in the preparation that parts both? Real improvisation rises on the spur of the moment : it is neither a simple re-arrangement of some previously determined information, nor the interpretation of an already made choreography. Learning a choreography amounts to assimilating something coming from the outside, and to procede henceafter to a series of adjustments : however, our body is already full of various movements and forms, that improvisation consists in taking advantage of. This is reminiscent of oriental medicine which aims at stimulating our natural healing power.
