Essential for, and intrinsic to Butoh practice is the becoming. The willed image possessing the body, an invited guest that changes the inside space. We practice invoking, allowing and ever-intensifying this becoming on a regular basis- the speed of self-erasure quickening. Through rigorous body practices a swiftness of calibration is developed- something like the oscillating balance of a tightrope walker- to seek inside, to call the image, to change from its impact through the swiftness of the mind and the senses.... ceaselessly becoming through the practice. It is an act of devotion: to soften, open and receive the energy more fully. Perseverance is crucial- willingness to reach limits of perceived ability, thresholds of intensity- and to welcome them as teachers, guides. To journey deep- and through.
