This intensive two-week butoh workshop led by Kokoro Dance\u2019s Artistic Directors, Barbara Bourget and Jay Hirabayashi, and is open to anyone over the age of 18.<\/p>\n<p>The performances on\u00a0<b>July 15th and 16th<\/b>\u00a0take place, in the nude, on Wreck Beach at the foot of the #4 Trail below the UBC Museum of Anthropology. A maximum of 30 participants will be accepted into the workshop. The workshop takes place weekdays from\u00a0<b>9:00am-4:00pm daily<\/b>\u00a0at the KW Production Studio. Participants should bring comfortable exercise clothing, a water bottle, and towel. No previous dance experience or exposure to butoh is required, but the intensive is physically challenging. If you want to participate, it is advisable to come to Kokoro\u2019s ongoing dance classes or find physical conditioning elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>Starting from day one of the workshop, we will build a butoh score built on interior imagery that will create both an individual and a group journey, 60 to 70 minutes in length. It will be performed on sand and in water whether it is sunny or rainy on Vancouver\u2019s largest stage with lighting, set, sound, and costumes by Mother Nature. Kokoro Dance\u2019s Wreck Beach Butoh experience is a life-altering opportunity to discover your own original dance expression.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kokoro.ca\/2026-wreck-beach-butoh\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">More info.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; From\u00a0July 3rd to July 16th, 2026, Kokoro Dance presents the\u00a032nd annual Wreck Beach Butoh Performance Workshop.
