Japanese butoh dancer Minako Seki joined Dance faculty Tanya Calamoneri and ACCAD faculty Vita Berezina-Blackburn and Jeremy Patterson in a two week residency to explore creative visualization and virtual reality experiences with the visceral imagery of Seki Butoh Method, such as hanging from the earth and moving our spines as if we have a heavy iron ball connected to our tailbones. The research team was joined by Dance graduate students Isa Bowser, Alisha Jihn, Kiki Williams, Ben Roach, Zoey November, Jiara Sha, and Mary Storm, ACCAD graduate student William Yuan, and Dance MFA Alumn Yukina Sato. Current students can engage with the tools we created through independent studies and future collaborative classes. Reach out to Tanya Calamoneri if interested!
