buto paint
Butopainting or Paintingbuto. Try to danse and paint toegether.
Without space into these differents disciplines. Go inside to communicate
your own spirit. Go and walk on the color , on a rythm, in the space and
try to translate your deep inside with the same vocabulary. No separate
the arts but mix both different kind of thinking and arrive to sing an artistic
song really strong like the simple life. by Art. Lab Gallery

the reactions of his body in different situations. After, the exploration of different feelings, be sad, angry, happy ...
and transform your emotions, change your mind, try to translate it into movements, ondulations, fall, ramping...
Be an animal, feel that or become an animal, an amiba, a tiger, an insect and follow your transformations's body
with a very simple mind, take all like the real life.. And walking in the animal, vegetal, mineral world, feel
your transformated body, like falling water and very sweet air, body full of tentacules,or with the muscles of the tiger.
Feel these deep movements inside.

During this worshop, we'll work with colors, plans, lignes and forms. Darkness and light, deepness and surfaces,
the rythmes, colorations,the cold and all the different variety of the perceptions and emotions traduced and provocated
