BUTOH WALES, 2025

Marloes, Pembrokeshire

​

Retracing encounters from Butoh Wales 2025

Deciphering notes and textures of imagery within

Butoh-fu.

 

Through words a new dance is emerging.

​

 

There is a voice that says 

don’t be drawn in 

to the performance of it all 

like a fool lost in a cave,

dancing with shells on her eyes 

 

This is ritual 

and the rocks are deep with memory 

and they are telling us something 

I am listening 

and I am clinging in hope

 

Vanishing

yet held by the weight of stones 

Losing sense 

Un-cohering 

limbs, organs 

and the landscapes between beyond naming 

 

Together 

communing with the shoreline 

and the giant shoulders of rocks 

We become Kin
