Entering the Blur with Meshi Chavez

Entering the Blur with Meshi Chavez Eugene, OR · August 7–9, 2026 The Lavender Network Register: https://forms.gle/ G77fZgsrJTUsKM7d6 or https://meshichavez.com/# workshops-anchor In butoh, the body is not fixed. Movement can become subtle or immense, quiet or wild. Through attention, sensation, image, and transformation, we move beyond familiar ways of sensing, moving, and understanding ourselves. This workshop introduces butoh as a practice of disappearance and becoming. Through guided explorations, improvisation, and image-based practices, participants will investigate how sensation, environment, and imagination reshape movement and open unexpected possibilities. Open to dancers, performers, movers, and artists interested in expanding their creative practice and discovering new ways of moving, creating, and being. No previous butoh experience is required. Only curiosity and a willingness to explore.
