Movement Rituals: Witchdancing w/ Michael J. Morris

Inspired by the work of Alkistis Dimech, Tatsumi Hijikata, Kazuo Ohno, Anna Halprin, and Keith Hennessy: Witchdancing is a a Butoh-based movement ritual practice developed from Michael Morris’ practice, and an ongoing exploration in both witchcraft and Butoh. This practice asks: what if a dance is also a spell with which we conjure our bodies and the worlds in which they live? In Witchdancing, we move through a continuous series of images, qualities, and states, engaging in a metamorphosis of the body. The movement is improvisational and requires no previous dance experience. The practice will be supported by an original soundscore by Moxy Martinez.
