"Throughout its history, Butoh has often been compared to a shamanistic practice" says artistic Director Vangeline. "Butoh comes from Japan and is influenced by Asian somatic practices, which means that Butoh dancers approach their craft as an energy practice. In Butoh, we experience a deep connection with Nature, the world around us, and everything that exists--one of its principles is that we are all connected. Butoh work intersects with shamanism in several ways, as both focus on transformation, altered states of consciousness, and a deep connection to the unseen realms of existence.

For two decades, our company has focused on environmental and social healing, and our mission aligns with peaceful healing work. Today, it is extremely rare for anyone in our big cities to experience genuine shamanistic practices that have been passed down from generation to generation. Focusing on peace and healing seems really important, and we are really excited to bring this opportunity to New Yorkers."

This initiative for peace was born in response to what seems like a very stressful time in the history of the United States, to help reimagine what kind of community gatherings are possible in New York.
