Butoh Movement Sessions During the Wolf retreat, Maya Victorine will lead the group in eco-resonance movement classes outside. We will develop a core practice of “sensitivity", “momentum”, and “not moving till moved”. We will use breathwork and qi gong to initiate inner movement and an intimate connection with the nature around us. With these skills in tow, we can then start to create dance that brings forth our own perspective from within nature. We will get the experience of resonating with the wolves and finding our own wild dance from within. Also during the retreat, a shamanic drum journey will further connect you to the magic of the animal spirits. Artists’ Bio- Maya Victorine Maya Victorine has traveled the world, seeking the practice of Butoh Dance. Learning from many different butoh masters, such as Rhizome Lee and Atsushi Takenuchi, local teachers on the west coast, and also living in butoh communities. The butoh practice helps one develop increased awareness of one’s self and body, your surroundings, and the natural environment, and turns the “listening” into a dance expression. Maya has continually focused on “eco-resonance”, creating an unbiased ear and authentically relating to nature as “really, really, real”. Maya leads exercises for hyperawareness, and channels guided meditations that push forward the imagination and our listening skills. Maya is also a massage therapist, spoken word artist, photographer, breathwork teacher and core shamanism practitioner.  Now available in Candy Kitchen New Mexico. Looking for a truly effective massage? Using deep tissue and reflexology I enjoy helping people feel like a new person. My studies in Thai and Lomi Lomi has informed my practitioners stance so that I can get the most of each massage stroke, using the right direction and weight. Sessions at my home in Candy Kitchen are on an open air porch massage studio, with privacy, heated table, and with my own blended oils, overlooking the desert landscape.
While living in Portland, Oregon, I was exposed to Butoh at the Headwaters Theater, and became hooked. I traveled the world learning from many masters and participating in community learning experiences. All told, and many photographs and passport stamps later, I think my favorite teacher was Meshi Chavez, teaching weekly at home in Portland. We talked about both the Tao and Quantum Physics, and it led to my later developing, in Serbia, what I call Quantum Corpus, based on a performance there. It emphasizes developing the many sensory bodies and increasing proprioception within and outside of oneself, so that one can best receive the dance and best translate it to the physical world, through Ma. Personal performances are often angsty, include ancient/non-ancient props, and include spoken word poetry.
