2. Summer Subbody Butoh Workshop (EARLY REGISTRATION DEADLINE IS APPROACHING!)

8 Weeks Beginning Subbody Butoh Workshops with Kats D Fukasawa


Subbody Butoh Method unleashes creative impulses within one’s subconscious realm through series of conditionings. Through this method, the practitioner explores one’s “unique” movements that are beyond physical, psychological, cultural and social boundaries.

This workshop will focus on the essential aspects of Subbody Butoh:

• Quiet down the daily consciousness and listen to the subtle body signals.

• Go beyond our physical, psychological and social bounds in order to create movements that are novel and unique to the individual body.

• Develop Subbody movements through opening eight channels (body feeling, movement, visual, audio, emotion, relationship, world-self image and thinking)

• Find resonance between ourselves and the environment.

• Through the resonance with other Subbodies, become Co-body.

Subbody Butoh Workshop is a group process and this workshop requires no previous dance experience.

Anyone who would like to explore his or her hidden creative potentials is welcome!


When: Wednesday 6:00-9:00 pm July 1, 8, 15, 29 August 5, 12, 19, 26

Locations: Fallout Urban Art Center Studio, 2601 2nd Avenue South, Minneapolis

Tuition: $200 ($180 if you register before June 1st)

10 participants maximum (Early registration recommended).

3. Volunteer Needed

I need volunteers for my performances on Friday and Saturday, June 19th & 20th. I need 4-5 people per night from 7:00-9:00pm. The volunteer duties include box office, tech and help during the performance. If you are interested, please contact me at kats@paneerproject.com or 612-703-7501.

4. Now Accepting Shiatsu Appointments

Shiatsu is a bodywork technique originated in Japan. The word “Shiatsu” literally means “finger pressure.” One can receive Shiatsu as a preventative or recreational remedy, as well as a treatment for a chronic illness. Shiatsu enhances one’s holistic health.

My standard fee for one session (about 90 minutes) is $50. For house visit, please add extra $15. Because my intention is to share this healing art with as many people as possible, I offer a sliding fee based on one’s ability to pay.

Please feel free to contact me to make an appointment.
