Quantum Corpus
Butoh-Based Movement Classes by 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 hyper-awareness, 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.

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.

Butoh is a modern Japanese dance practice that has gone worldwide as a creative tool. It uses poetic cues to catapult the senses and imagination. Moving meditations are done lying, sitting, standing, walking and stretching. Each class is both relaxing and strengthening, and includes tasks that challenge our senses, explores patterns and range of movement, and most importantly creates an artist's trance that connects us with deep meaning. It can bring a wealth of inspiration to all kinds of artists, not just movement artists. Each class is a guided journey.

Workshops with Maya Victorine
Key Concepts that I bring:
- Cultivating our Senses, Beyond the 5: A body so full of the present moment that emptiness ensues
- Primordial Explorations: Finding new movement outside of our conditioned body patterns
- The Quantum Corpus: Exploring the minute and the infinite merging them together within the body to create an activated body
- Enviro-Tantric Resonance: Experiencing the other through transposed acute self awareness
- The Red Thread: Psychosomatic journeys to unveil and bring light to our shadow aspects and heal ancestral patterns
Gifts:
- Helping people come to expanded awareness of their bodies using qi gong methods and stretching meditations
- Crafting "trippy" surreal experiences with my guided meditations, leading adventures inside and beyond the self
- Resonating with the group as they are in state, to create a custom journey for them
- Cultivating the skills needed to find the empty vessel, the ma state, and to be able to enter it at will
Workshops currently in El Morro, NM.
Available for workshops elsewhere by request, let me know!
