Atsushi Takenouchi JINEN Butoh sol performance   SKIN  - improvisation #0- October 24th(Wed) 7.15pm Does my skin separate me from the external world ?  Magma, underground bedrock, surface soil,  the atmosphere, the magnetosphere - the layers of the earth. Membrane of cells, internal organs, muscles, bones, and the body… a wave of emotion, a layer of energy… aura　- the inner and outer layer of our body. Perhaps there is no boundary between me and my environment. There is only the sensation from the many layers of skin. The life of the moment, the dance begins with this layered sensation.                                                                           Atsushi Takenouchi                                                                                              ｐｈｏｔｏ　ｂｙKONRONSHA     皮が私と外界を分けているのか？ 地球にもマグマ、地下岩盤、この地面、そしてその上に空気の層、磁気の層がある。 体にも細胞の皮、内臓の皮、筋肉や骨の皮、そしてこの体表の皮、 そして,この皮膚の上にも層があるのかもしれない....。 それは、空気で感ずる感情の波動、気やエネルギーの層、オーラの層。 この私の皮膚の内側が私の体で、 皮膚から外が外界などという分け隔ては無いのかもしれない.......。 あるのはこの私の皮膚のみならず その内側外側に幾層にも重なった層(皮)から感ずる感覚だけ。 その場に置かれた生命が、皮の感覚を頼りに踊り始める。                                             竹之内　淳志 at Chisenhale Dance Space, 64-84 Chisenhale Road E3.

Live walking, Death walking. Walking in the various situation with restriction. The way of body operating to make the movement come out from inside. Sketch the things in the nature world like living life, animal, natural material by body properly. - one cycle of an embryo, a baby, a child, an adult, an old man. - an insect, a beast, trees, grass, a flower. - a gas, a liquid, a solid, gel, amoeba, an organism, minerals. Capturing a conscious movement and an unconscious movement as a dance. Dance a fragmental dream. Gravitation and floating. Various sound and body expression, voice. Dance the seasonal body of your own. The process of the metamorphosis. The dance by organic and inorganic contact with other life. How we can be desperate. A collaboration and an improvisation by body and sound. Find out your own expression coming from your emotion with focusing on really personal things which is inside of you.   Atsushi Takenouchi joined Butoh dance company "Hoppo-Butoh-ha" in Hokkaido in 1980.
