About this Event
This spring 2026, MpowerDance Project presents fun and affordable Butoh classes, each Wednesday from 12-1pm in San Francisco, starting May 6 through to June 24. Instructor Mary Power will lead us in rewilding our creative body as we transform into an art making exploration in Butoh dance. Expect conditioning drills for shapes, balances, rolls, walks, crawls, spins; and directed Butoh improvisations and choreography for Shapeshift 2026.
Our Butoh classes support centered awareness of both the internal and external spatial environments of our own self in space time and in relation with other earthlings. Dancing with others improves our spontaneity and timing. Even though as individuals, independent of anyone else's experience, we create dance together and our very presence contributes to group connection. This spring put your mind-body skills into dynamic artful movement. Please join in.
Eventbrite registration is required.
Dress in comfortable clothes, bring socks, bring long sleeved shirt. Classes will be filmed.
Please arrive 5 minutes early, doors close at 12pm.
