Rooted in physical investigations of trauma, resilience, and hybrids, our collaborative artworks challenge capitalism both subtlety and overtly. Our framework for life is a dedication to our art practice as spiritual, fundamental, and collective. We use our curiosity to guide our trajectory, and our work as a disruptive tool to challenge our perceptions. We disarm and empower our audiences through sound and movement. Our scale ranges from intimate settings to public interactions, and the full spectrum in between.
We convene national and international teaching artists with Chicago art makers across genres in the independent and fringe arenas (including dance, butoh, poetry, film, experimental music). We collaborate with artists around the globe to create opportunities for workshops, performances, and conversations about the body, for the body. Butoh Curious / Butoh Chicago.
