Butoh is a sacred dance.
Hi Im josie I have a background in fine art and performance art. In 2010 I started studying with Koichi and Hiroko Tamano, second generation Butoh dancers, students of Tatsumi Hijikata. In sharing their Ankoku-Butoh, I saw more and more that “Butoh” is already there in us. It is not learned. It is awakened. With The Tamanos there is always a lesson to be learned, that is also the butoh. Ever changing always elusive, butoh is a dance that encompasses all of human existence and the phenomena surrounding us. These phenomena span the spectrum of human emotions: stillness, chaos, tenderness, darkness. Our internal universe is just as colorful and varied as the features of our external world. In Butoh, I found the same freedom that I saw in the avant-garde performance art scene and the ritualistic endeavors of the spiritual.
My butoh is corporeal reformation (body reformed) it has influemces of chinese arts, sacred dance, and ancestral worship.

Corporeal Reformation
Remembering is a form of empowering. As it pertains to this experience that includes the body I use the term corporeal reformation. It is a way of saying at this moment our body needs a reevaluation, a reorganizing, a re-shifting that is deep and spiritual. A remembering of something that came before that is so embedded in ourselves that it is a part of well being. It is a daily practice that by no means will be complete.
We learn from teaching therefore teaching is part of the paractice.
I have worked with Koichi and Hiroko Tamano since 2010. They are the first to bring Butoh to the west. I am also a student of Hung Gar (southern kung fu) and Tai Chi since 2015. I am student of James Ibrao (Jun Bao).
In 2007 I recieved my fine art degree from the San Francisco Art Institute and Cal State University, Long Beach .

Awaking the body is the first step for a Butoh dancer. The breathe is the first movement in a dance.
I have worked with students of all ages and backgrounds.
Look at there work and their teachers. See how they move in the world. Butoh is a dance that lives outside the dance studio.

josie j was a wonderful, gentle guide into the body and exploration of it's expression.
I felt immediately welcomed and accepted by Joise. The moves and expressions that we performed made me feel more in-tune and connected with my body than playing any instrument or sport. At the end of the class, I felt refreshed and rejuvenated - similar to how you feel after a massage.
