Adam continues butoh classes after offering several butoh sessions throughout the years in Georgia with his latest project Theokinesis.

Theokinesis draws inspiration from Christian wisdom and the co-founder of butoh Kazuo Ohno’s emphasis on “Spirit.” Kazuo, a practicing Christian, rooted his understanding of “Spirit” to the Holy Spirit.

In the classes, we will continue to explore Theokinesis and its 6 Wings which are a framework designed to guide dancers toward establishing a personal connection with God or “Provider.” We will go into more depth also regarding the “feathers” and “aromas” which were not able to be covered in the intensive.

Through divine connection, the dancer responds with their entire being, much like King David in the Bible. As described in 2 Samuel 6:14-15, David, wearing a linen ephod, danced like a wild man before the Lord, accompanied by the shouts and trumpets of all Israel as they brought the ark of the Lord to Jerusalem.

In Theokinesis, the body and immediate space transform into a living church. Using the creative medium of butoh dance theatre, this practice seeks to liberate the body from everyday constraints, allowing it to move freely and become a sacred offering.
